Tom[/quote] Well Mr DVLA website man says there are no records apart from BCL 719C which is taxed till next year and MYE 675D which is taxed till this coming Friday. Out of interest, are they all RHD? And have you got any photos?

A little bit of backround on the Anthracite Grey 62' 1200. It was purchased new by an RAF Serviceman in Germany in 1962, American Bumpers, Cloth Seats and Steering Lock Were specced when new. It was ordered Rhd, so he could use it here when he returned in 1964. He traded it in at a Local Vw Dealer for a new Polo in 1987, which he said he always regretted! We had the Original Bill of Sale, German Sales Invoices, Handbook etc.Incidentally the Pic of 770 KBM was taken in the 1970s, with my Mum at the Wheel! Tom
