Hi! My name is Robert. I'm from Hungary. I have an almost finished '66 bug. It's under construction yet.  Original 1.3 F engine. Blaupunkt from 1969. I have all original documents of the car, and the radio.

it's L28 Grey (It's not a '66 color code,it's early ('53 -'58 ) bus color)
the original color was Fontana grey L 595 (It's my car about 10 years ago)

| Nem beszélek magyarul, de mellett használ egy online fordító azt gondoltam, hogy szórakoztató, hogy csatlakozzanak az ünnepségeket itt. Nagyon szép autó Sompi. A fordítás is hamarosan pontos?? |

As far as I know I am the 3rd owner of this ruby red 66, bad thing is my car has no data plate in front, I do have the vin on pan and no panel has ever been removed or replaced on the car. Also the motor has no vin, I was told its a factory replacement motor??  |
I'm now the 4th owner of this car Had it a couple months. Bought it from Doaner. I've pulled the engine to freshen up, along with alot of other minor maintenance work. Plan on keeping it original 1300. VIN is 116162472. Fun project so far. It's original color is red. Original owner put a paint brush coat paint on it  . Sat in a barn for many years. Barn collapsed on the car and sat that way for a while. Car was always in Ky, now moved north to Indiana.
