Just a note to say a friend of ours has started a new world wide oval beetle registry of all the Oval beetles that are left in the world.

If anyone has an oval or knows someone with an oval beetle, and if they would like to have their car entered on the register use the email address below and submit your cars details:

*Chassis number (& Body number if an early one)
Engine number
*Is the vehicle? standard/export sedan/ sunroof LHD/RHD?

Are there any other special features/ accessories/ history with the car?
Colour? Anyinfo?

If you could send a picture he would be appreciative.

ps, The ones with * are required for the registry

email: oval@orcon.net.nz

Attn : Phil (AKA Kiwi Geezer)

Thanks
Karl

Well either he's got far too much time on his hands or he really doesn't know what he's letting himself in for. Smile

All the same wish your brave friend the very best of luck.

Didn't there used to be an oval registry already started? It seemed fairly comprehensive but then switched to a formula Vee site.

My thought is for the owner to fill out an online form for submission then the list owner just needs to review and ok it for posting. Simiar to what is done at vintagebus.com
