Yes you are wasting your time.
I read it on samba, so it must be correct.
Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!

CKD is short for Completely Knocked Down. Basically a car from another place, assembled somewhere else. This was to get around import tariffs (taxes)
on vehicles from overseas to protect the local car manufactures. For example. A locally built Holden car of the late 60's like a Torana would have
no import tariff obviously. All or most parts were made in Aus, and all labour was Aus. So for Aus companies to be able to be competitive in the
market, the tariff on complete cars was introduced. So if you had a complete driving car imported such as a VW Beetle Cabriolet (convertible) then the
tariff applied. For the VW sedan, they came in CKD and all of the labour was local, and many parts like glass, trim, tyres, paint were locally
manufactured also. The more local component, the less import tariff applied.
Volkswagen AG (Germany) have no records or birth certificates of CKD or local Aus manufactured vehicles. It does not exist. The vehicles were treated
like LEGO assembly and there are no records.

The horsepower was a tax rating. I think it was something to do with bore x stroke. It would have been 17.1hp.

Yes that's RAC Horsepower. It's not measured horsepower, it's calculated from the formula RAC HP = 2/5 x D squared x n, where D is cylinder bore in
inches and n is number of cylinders.
Cars like the Austin 7 were named after their RAC horsepower rating.
Because the taxation figure was dependent on the bore (and not the stroke), it led to a generation of British engines with very small bore and very
long stroke - the opposite of what the Americans (and VW of course) were doing.
The British government abandoned this system in the late 1940s.

.....and we got rid of it in the 1970s. We're not backward.
