I dont think chassis number can tell the original colour....Do you have any idea what the original colour was? At all?

Thanks VW54,
Were cars painted by hand back then?, it doesnt look like it was sprayed.
Yep its a 62, Hopefully the germans will send the birth certificate soon 
But does anyone remember that site graham was speaking about?

If they were painted by hand they would still be building the last of the 21 million cars...
Yes they were sprayed in a large booth several at a time.
