1976,
Wish I was only 36!😟

march 6th 1978 is the build date on the m plate and the vw birth certificate, however the dvla put 1.1.78 on the v5, i rang them to complain and was told they only care what date it is exactly if it's tax free or close to being a different registration letter!

Hattie was 'born' 30th January 1975 (from the M plate). I've heard mention of these VW birth certificates ... are they for real??
yep, they are real - and really expensive too! cost about 50 euros if i recall? summat stupid anyway, it comes in a nice folder and is signed and dated from germany - nice to have but pointless.

Mine was built December 72

Pickles · Nov 5, 2012

Mine (according to M Plate) had a planned production date of November 1971! so actually that old (and no box for that on the poll ) although believe first registered in Florida in 1972.

Mine is 33, but behaves like a petulant teenager.

Early '73 and 27 days too young to be tax exempt :-(

I know how you feel, ours is a 73 and about a month and a half too late to be tax exempt. Still...it's Percy's 40th next year which is cool

Mine turned 40 on friday 2nd.

And i forgot. No card or prezzie for it. :-[

Chrisradioman · Nov 6, 2012

I've added another option now for you very very very early late bayers.

spongebob · Nov 7, 2012

Oh and mines a 1979 December 31 st so very very late late bay.

Wasn't this the date it was first sold in the US though? What's the actual build date, as that will tell you it's age, post your M plate details up if you're not sure, and other's will help de-code it if for you. You never know, it might be a 73, and actually be a very very early late bay...
Mine was built in Jan '79, but not registered until April '80, and sold sometime after that..so a very very very late late bay..
