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. On the next run of decal kits I will be including personalised rear quarter sets and engine lid script, in the run, and for those who don't want to change the external look the engine lid script will be available on its own for placement anywhere, for example the face of the glove box.
The external decal kit as per original spec but personalised, will be offered at the same price of the original kit. Decal kit £23 posted (personalised) 5 piece kit Engine lid script £5 posted (personalised) 1 piece |
