|
|
No it's not a chat up line... I'm trying to date my '55 11 window standard that i've just bought. I will get a birth certificate when i get back from holiday but you know what it's like, i want everything NOW!
Anyway i've tried here: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/chassisdating.php
and it's somewhere between feb-march. knowing it's a splitty and not a barndoor makes it march but, and i'm prob' having a blonde moment, i don't see what's going on with the numbers...
anyway here they are and any light shed on the matter would be cool
Cheers Anton

it looks like a march bus.. the numbers on the chart show the last one made that month. it looks like middle march... have fun on holiday. _________________ Chris

If it helps my chassis no. is 20 119 299 and my bus was built on the 8th March '55.
As 6D2 says, yours looks to be towards the middle of that month - the 14th March would be about right. |

Cheers for that. guy i got it from i seem to recall said it was the 29th but what's a few days between friends
Shame it's not as early as yours Marl, you've gotta have the oldest non-barndoor in the UK at a guess?
6D2: i'm off out to the otherside of the country so i'll wave on my way past
Thanks again
