For the history of the car, you can get the Birth Certificate from the VW museum, which for an Australian assembled CKD might give you the production
date and date it left the factory and that is about all. ( http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=398 ) Another option is the rego history. Website is here: http://www.aomc.asn.au/eng®records.htm I got 2 for my
Beetles and it really only gave the original rego and the date it was first registered.
