On here where???
I've looked around and can't find it.
Give us a link please.

It does look pretty nice, minus the advertising, of course.
But, that would be a real conversation piece here in north central Indiana.

Steve

A bit concerned about the original plates G was issued in about 1976 and H was about 1978 give or take a year or two but definitely not 1968.

1966 type 3 - December 2nd, 2012 at 09:11 PM

Hi Sorry you are probably right as 1968 they where maybe b or c letter
But they are old style faded black and yellow my error
ironhorse are you one of the early previous owners of it fron newcastle ????????????

ArtyP - December 3rd, 2012 at 06:41 AM

I brought mine new at Newcastle Sept 68 and the number plate was AOL470 as a matter of fact that number is available at the moment and I was wondering if I should get it for when I re registrar it again ??

Bizarre - December 3rd, 2012 at 07:21 AM

E was 67 then they started again
I had a 73 that was G and a 74 that was H

whatever..... my question is the "This is the ONLY SHORT WHEEL BASE Country Bug in the world!"

True??

If you have a good look, you'll see a little disproportionality...my guess is that body was shortened to fit SWB pan...

1966 type 3 - December 3rd, 2012 at 08:37 PM

Hi Artyp do you still have your original cb from new what ko number is it.You would have purchased it from Bowers VW at Mayfield

ArtyP - December 4th, 2012 at 07:14 AM
