Can anyone tell by this chasis number the year of my bug.
Chasis : 5040635, just want to make sure 63 is correct
Cheers
chassis numbers for 63 model [german]

Cheers Lee, so this would indicate german made not Aussie made?
Checked out the Samba and their info suggest that is a late 62 (Oct/Nov) .

German made chassis and or number ( proberly made here ) body made in Aussie
some things on the bug lead to German made as ít doesn't have the usually kangaroo pictures on fittings just the vw symbol.
