It is with thanks to Marco for sharing these pics to our Facebook page, that I have become interested in them, especially the one showing the reg plate, as with this bit of information I was able to learn a little more.
All pics that have been found so far are in black & white, but with the power of the web some people have come forward saying they remember these and were yellow, the same as the jeans model, but the rear quarter script replaced with the word wolves in jeans style font, this was presumably to commemorate Wolves winning the league cup in 1974.
From the pics we know for sure there were five in existence, ANP 613M clearly visible and all other reg in sequence, in one way or the other.
From one viewers recollection these were given away as prizes, but that for now is all we know, so my quest for more information is out to you guys

Ok so it's request time again, having been updating the register again, I keep finding little pieces of that jigsaw puzzle, but I'm still quite a few bits missing but with your help well get the complete picture.


New dating findings
Dating your jeans through the VIN, all our jeans for the first series start with 1142, which basically means "beetle (1) saloon (1) 1974 model (4) made in the 1970's (2) now the next series of numbers are of course unique, but by using the next set of three after 1142 you get the day the jeans was built.
The numbers below only relate to the jeans model built in Belgium, German built jeans well their numbering system isn't as precise and the dating process isn't as easy.
051 = 4th September 1973 first day of production
055 = 18th September 1973
057 = no records found (yet)
059 = 2nd October 1973
211 = need more records to verify
212 = 9th October 1973
214 = 16th October 1973
215 = need more records to verify
216 = 23rd October 1973
238 = 8th November 1973 last day of production


I've also found something interesting with the last three digits, but until more numbers come in, I'll keep it under my hat.


So if anyone would like to share with us the day your jeans was built, it would help immensely please only post any of the above number not your full vin, if you would like to give your full vin for the register only please email me
Thanks

Well they keep coming, via the contact form not bad for the supposed 13 left on the road, thanks guys means a lot for the register, as we get more numbers be it vin numbers or production plate numbers the more we understand about VW’s system.
One thing I would ask, is could you also contact me directly via email, as the contact form seems to be having problems with supplying us with a contact email.
Many thanks

Ok guys & gals here's the complete list, a few things have come to light over the last few days re: Reg numbers some of you have personal plates on now, but it would be nice to know the original number plate supplied when new, this goes with exported jeans too, there are three more to add to the list to add at a later date when the reg numbers come in, but for now enjoy......

Never underestimate the importance of numbers, and here we don't take them likely, as they are very important for our quest, especially the production plate numbers, as it's those I'm still on a learning curve with.
Now the uk ones are fine, which is all good as they are my main concern, but as some may be aware I've started listing the European ones and its those that are giving me a headache as I'm currently unable to date and match the vin as accurately as I'd like, it seems the German plant was very lacksidaisicle when it came to sequence, now the Belgium plant seems to have been run to the book, so I have no problems whatsoever with their system, and it's that one I've come to learn.
Not all jeans that we know of are on the data chart below, it's just the ones I have data for, so if yours isn't on the list and you would like it to be included drop me an email with the appropriate details, full vin isn't required but it is preferred for the chart to be accurate along with full engine number if believed to be original

https://www.icloud.com/pages/0atKCDgvMmJxVDdiNndwTdPbQ#Jeans_Register

yes believe it or not its now easier to sign up, I've made the fields easier and more descriptive to help our overseas friends, they say a picture speaks a thousand words, and thats in any language, so now anyone trying to join up can do with ease.
​http://www.jeansbeetle.com/join-us.html

Over the last few weeks with the help from our European friends, in our mission of dating the jeans model and trying to understand the coding by VW, I thought it only right to include them in the research data I've been collating.
So to start, we have a mapping system to give a general location of our jeans, this I'm sure you'll agree will only grow and grow as more details come in, so if you want to help with the register, just fill out the form on the "Join us" page and fill out the details there, then we have the detailed database that for the most part will be kept private and confidential only showing part of the information relative to anyone else, the chart will be shown age order (oldest jeans first) and obviously grouped in model range

Thanks to one of our members from Norway, Alf sent us some details and pictures of his jeans which at first threw me solely because of the vin, then it all fell into place.
As can be seen with the picture of the production plate the week build is for week 35 day 2 which puts it to 28th August 1973 a week earlier than our present forerunner, but the one on our uk list has a earlier numbered vin.
We now strongly believe that VW Wolfsburg built the chassis's in batches to be sent out to Belgium for assembly, hence why there are gaps in VIN's on our charts, and why the production plate is the most important piece on your beetle, as it gives colour, allocated production date and place on the production line.
So I have a plea for you to check your production plates to see if you have a older one than Alf's

Well it's time for me to start another jigsaw puzzle, this time with our imported or overseas Jeans Beetle family of special models s761 s714 s716 & s744, all colours.
We need info from the production plate and also the vin minus the last three digits, as we are trying to set up a build database as in the picture attached, you don't need to worry about the special model number, build date or even colour we can work these out, you can even withhold your vin but it will help immensely if included.
