Is there a way to tell what the motor is for this car 30 or 36hp? i did a bit of searching from what i can see is the single tip exhaust systems were
fitted to the 30hp motor and that the oz assembled cars changed to the 36hp in march 1955 i belive my car is feb 1955 so i think i might have the 30hp
motor
Thanks
jamie

IN2VWS the engine number is 1-0992868 if you are able to work out what the motor is that would be great.
Thanks

Thanks for the great comments everyone
Hey Joel the thought has crossed my mind about selling the other bug but its not a super though has had a 1600 twin port fitted. It would help to
clear some space and provide a few more dollars to go on the oval
Yep they are still out there just waiting to be found

Does anyone know what the seating capacity is for these oval bugs with no seat belts would it be 4 or 5 seats
I had a 57 morris minor years ago same no seat belts went to get the car regested they asked me how many seats it had i said don't know they then
asked how many seat belts
i said none they then asked how many would you like to make it so i said 5 so 5 seater it was reged as. Thought i would make it 5 just to cover me if
i ever needed to carry 5 in the car.

Hi ian.mezz i have a 72 bug and they are 4 seater becouse thats what is on the compliance plate but older cars like the oval and morris minor don't
have compliance plates so there is no seating number given. I have had 22 peaple in my mini
If anyone has a 50s to 60s bug what is the seating capacity on the rego papers?

Thanks for the reply ian.mezz rego papers must be different in NSW as when i was in QLD and now in TAS the rego papers state the seating capacity of
the car on them.

Wow, what a fantastic find! As someone pointed out there may still be some out there waiting for rescue, but I suspect none too many in as good a
shape to start with than yours. Congratulations, looking forward to watching your thread.
Kris.
