'67 VW numbers
I've got the original warranty card for my new '67 VW. It is shown as a type 114D. The 114 says it is a RHD deluxe, what does the D mean? It had
a dealer flash kit fitted from new, is that it?
It was first registered 22/5/68, but it is definitely a '67 model. Chassis number is 197827234, original engine F1098043 still fitted. Gauges are
stamped 11/67 or 12/67, so it must be one of the last 6V models made. By May 1968, it must have been in the showroom with the 1500 beetles I'm
guessing.
Does anyone have the Australian '67 chassis numbers, it would be nice to know if it was really one of the last 'early' beetles made here!
The flash kits were usually fitted to the early 60's VWs, I suspect they might have put it on this one to help an 'old model' car off the showroom
floor.
