it is road legal, started as a winter spruce up a year ago and its still not done

the knob is for all the lights and it does the horn, the handbrake if you look closer i have a "normal" cable operated item

cool so is it tax exempt?
sorry i know the thread is about your kit which looks good just trying to find out the age of ours to see if we can get tax exemption

beaver34 - 9/10/10 at 08:14 PM

Yes it is, if your unsure you can get a birth certificate From Vw in Germany to prove it mines a 73 crossover but is just tax free by a month

RAYLEE29 - 9/10/10 at 08:27 PM

thanks ours was first registered in march 73 so could well have been made late 72 as apparently there there was a dockers strike in jan/feb 73
cant seem to find a definitive answer from the chassis no and the date plate has been removed will have to do the birth certificate thing one day

yeah its worth it though! is it a crossover like mine with low front lights?

RAYLEE29 - 9/10/10 at 08:57 PM

difficult to say as the front panel was removed by the previous owner so no indicators he also cut other bits off before realising he couldnt weld or fabricate lol got it for a good price and i can do the above
seems the engine is mexican and it was originally a kombi then converted to camper then stripped out and the last owner seems to have thrown a lot of it away
its going to be a long term project but the main thing is we have it
