Birth certificate arrived, any ideas?
Just received the certificate, anyone tell me if the 34hp engine was common? I thought they were 40hp in 62.
bottom part says it was a CKD

I had a roam around the beetle history websites tonight, and the results are somewhat fuzzy. All (except http://www.lennysvw.com, and that has other errors) agree that the step up from 34 hp to the 1300-40 hp did not occur
until '66.
Just about every site contradicts the other with respect to horsepower pre-1960, with figures of 34, 36 and 30 hp cited. This might be something to do
with SAE vs DIN horsepower measurement methods.

As modulus mentioned, this is a difference in measurement methods.
The 36 and 40 HP engines that we are used to are measured to SAE standards (Society of Automotive engineers) which is a US std. The 34bhp is the DIN
rating, which is a German std.
Designed especially to confuse........

You SHOULD NOT be even thinking of putting your credit card details in an email.

bottom part says it was a CKD
It means the car was sent to Aussie in parts and assembled here utilizing some Australian content, glass, carpets, trim etc etc
