Hi all, I have recently purchased a beetle that I am looking to do up. I was wondering if anyone can help with year and model identification?? The
numbers that I have managed to source from the rear floor and under the bonnet are as follows : Man# ( Chassis?) 119251084 and the following numberss
are also on the plate installed under the bonnet/hood Type : 1-255A S43
There is one other number on this plate that I am not sure that it refers to? 1140162 Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
Earl
Its a 69, built in Septemberish 68.
Yes
its a 1969 VW year model...
the VW year goes from 1st august 1968 to the 31st July 1969
probably made in late 1968...
the other numbers on the plate ??
Whats the engine number??

Hi guys, thanks for the help with the year model. Being new to Dubs completely I may need some help along the line with the resto, will keep you all
posted.
Where do I start to look for the engine number?? It all looks very compact in there!! Seller informs me that it is now sporting a 1600 so I am keen to
get this info sorted as well. Gives me a start on a manual so that I can get started though so cheers.

The engine number should be on the flat part of the engine case just below where the generator/ alternator stand bolts to the case.
