New 66 owner (i think)
Hi everybody
Great site you have, i found it by accident while searching Google for info on oil bath air filters!
I am now the proud owner of a 1300 Beetle, regd in December 1965, but its seems by the spec it may be a 1966 MY
The chassis number is 116240632.
Can anyone tell me what i have?!
Cheers

Hi there!
Actually Volkswagen used to change model years every August (i'm not sure that is still the case though). This means that cars first registered between August 1965 and August 1966 should be '66 models (unless of course it's a car that has been standing on a lot somewhere for some time - unlikely though, since at that time Beetles sold like crazy).
