so i have concluded at this point....

in 1973 everyone wanted to buy the new style bus as it showed great improvements on the prototypes of yesteryear

ours is a t reg registered in england in 1978, though its a left hand drive from germany built in aug 1974 so it one of those or, just to to split the differance, if you want it could be a 76'

Nah! Have got a question though, wern`t there some prototypes produced in late 67?

i bought a '76 panel in light blue, but the 217 prefix VIN stamped into the deeper blue engine bay gave it away as a '77 panel in neptune blue! even the v5 says 76.... weird.
i'm gonna resurrect the neptune paint if and when i ever get around to the bodywork

Yep, August 67 to August 68 was classed as a 68, so you could own a bus made in September 74 but it would be classed as a 75 :mad:

Bertha our westy was "born" in October 1972 but not registered until April 1973, she is tax exempt which is a bonus!! When she had new brakes a few years ago it was a nightmare to get the right parts, not as bad as a South Afican T3 I had though all of the bits on that must have come from the back of a cupboard somewhere!!

Does anyone know if the Westy born date is when it leaves the VW or westy factory (Ithink they're next door), I just wondered as my born and registered dates are really far apart.

So earlybay.com should be 1967-1972?

it is when it left the wolfsburg factory to go on to be converted to either westy, devon, danbury etc, julie

78, she's a beaut. changing colour, but it isnt Jaffa, more like a firey red with a gold sheen with a creamy white top. Before she was sandy yellow....(not the technical term) but in good nik considering how much use she has had.

jonspadge · « **Reply #58 on:** Sun 20/12/09, 21:31 »

74 manufactured. Is now on an M plate having been "rescued" from down under.
