Going by the finish quality I'm guessing Earl Scheib called it Saturn yellow....... |
Saturn Yellow is a beetle color used on the 73 "Sports Bug" models from what I've read here:

It looks like that oval was painted somewhat recently too.

if it's ready for an inspection, but leaks oil and needs a muffler... how would it pass inspection? For this asking price, you'd think those relatively minor items would get fixed before the sale?

Ouch! 1500 EURO for a NOS sun visor?
https://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=2482503
Sun Visor NOS Price: 1500 euros
"I have for sale this Sun Visor
Is new and NOS
Never used
Have the logo Vw
Ship worldwide
Price 1500 euros more shipping and PayPal"
Listed in the pre 1957 parts category but it's a 58-59 era visor.
