Hi I've a question about my project barndoor the chassis no
20-049xxx puts it about April 53 in the technical section but the original Swedish papers say 2-22,1953 it's on the papers that way and first registered for the road in October 1954 my question is is 2-22,1953 or is April the actual build thanks chris

2-22 sounds like the model #.

2 = Bus
22 = Standard Microbus.

Your are correct - 20-049xxx is April, 1953 production

Ok thanks I just needed some conformation I have another question when did the engine change from 25hp to 30hp I thought it was around March 53 but the the original Swedish papers say engine size is 25hp would this be correct

Thanks

Ok thanks I wasn't sure I think I'm going to rebuild the engine that was destined for my split beetle it's a 25hp to go in until a 53 bd engine turns up
