That engine number makes it a June 1964 34bhp 1200 according to the info on the Historic VW club website (Technical section). Take a look here... [url=https://www.historicvws.org.uk/]https://www.historicvws.org.uk/[/url] :D

thanks man, and it looks like my car is actually a 1960 model, quite a mystery machine :)
