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'  :yes:

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?

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.   :dave:
