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

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

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

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
