Paint colour and M code plate
Hey Guys
Trying to determine the colour of my car. Should be easy I know.
It's a 69 type 3 aand is an off white colour. Searching the Samba I realised there are a number of whites for cars of this vintage.
It's a 69. Chassis No. 369160101 (which is not listed on the Samba only goes to 368)

Reading the Numbers from left to right
36 = Type 36 (type 3 squareback)
9 = Model year 1969
1 = Mark 1
60101 = Vehicle Serial Number
Try looking for a stamped production plate on the front panel near the chassis plate.. The paint code will be stamped "sideways" on the Left hand
side of the plate.. The numbers running left to right will be the build date and the production code..
I gathered this info from the following site which may help..
