There have been several cars in VW Trends that look like that colour. I haven't been able to find a paint code in the articles though, sorry.
They have just called them "chocolate".
VW car, VW engine ...... keepin it "real"

Well, knowing that that car is original paint, it can only be a few...
I am guessing it is - L73 Chesnut Brown(1951-53).
Alternatively it could be:
- L76 Brown Beige (1949-50)
- L70 Medium Brown (1949-53)
If I was a betting man I would say Chesnut..

I cant see vw having 2 chestnut browns.
Just look at any sealing wax red and chestnut brown deluxe van and you can see the van is a lot darker.

It would be like saying
"NOS for sale"
would that be 'New Old Stock'
or 'Nitrous Oxide (NOS)'
Maybe not so much on this forum, but on some others 'New Old Stock' is not relevant and 'Nitrous Oxide' is
Something to think about?
I'm going to play with my T2 now.
