Hi there everyone,

I was wondering if anyone might have or know of a picture that would depict this birth certificate description.

My friend bought me a birth certificate and although Zippy won't be returning to his birthday build, I'd love to see how he rolled off the assembly line.

I added the rest of the certificate just because it would be cool if anyone were looking for him. Any additional historical anecdotes based off of the info would be most welcome as well.

VIN: 2 393 943 ( 2393943 )
Model: 117, VW De Luxe Sedan with sun roof
Motor: 30 DIN-PS 1.2 Litre
Colour: L 335 Capri Blue
Upholstery: Blue Grey/Blue
Upholst Mat: M 158 material cloth
Wheel disc: L 82 Silver White
Wheel rim: L 336 Deep Blue
Built / Left factory: 23 April 1959
Destination: Ravensburg / Germany
