For all you historic Beetle people, need info
Hi All,
I was checking this 1954 beetle out on ebay the other day and was wondering where the owner might of sourced all the dates and landing information
from. I would really like to track one of my 54's back to who brought it in the country and was the first owner etc. I know from checking books
against the pan numbers that it is stamped as a very early Jan 54 (think in the first week) and has all corresponding bits to back this up (speedo
etc) and has luggage racks in the back which I have only ever seen on splits, never in the back of an oval. I know of another Jan 54 here is SA and
was thinking maybe they came over on the same boat.
If anyone knows where I could get some information about this it would be great. Also can you send Wolfsburg a email or something for the birth
certificate or do you need to post them something? Website ?

Thanks

So yours were private imports? Looks like mine was on the first shipment (03/54).

Ruckus... do you need a really good set of doors and where are you seats coming from in SA? I have been looking for 2 front seats forever. Any ideas?

Yeah I've got correct doors (although one needs to have a skin transplant as someone has stolen a big section out of it to do a repair job!). The
seats are in Adelaide I think, I'm still following them up as they were part of the sale. I'll let you know if it's too hard to get them over and
we might work something out.
