I cant seem to find a production plate... the chasis plate is there behind the spare tyre, and also the sticker with the paint code, but was hoping to
be able to work out the cars birthday!
Did they not include production plates on the aussie vdubs?

on the spare parts type 3, which is a 9/70 model squareback, there is the compliance plate on the right side of the wheel well (left as you look at
it)
on the left side, there is something very similar to a production plate, although it l;ooks fairly different to the pic on the page, same size, doesnt
have the paint code on the end, and the production numbers are in two groups with no dashes, 362 1959 which according to the page 36-2 means tuesday
of the 36th week, which sounds about right for a 9th month build date to me.
BTW ryan here (Rota_Motor), too much effort to log out and log back in. dont come on here that often.
