This is a useful service for older VWs. However, you'll find more info on thesamba.com than they give on the birth certificate. Also, many BCs have been observed with obvious errors.

They will not be able to give you any info about SA-assembled cars other than the date of manufacture of the CKD kit.

IMO, not worth R350.

Yes I dont think you will get alot of info but I was just curios to see what they can find. I guess it is one of those nice to have items....

I need them in order to be able to register the vehicles in the UK to prove the age otherwise I get a 'Q' plate which for me is a sin!

So have you ordered already or do you plan to order? I really think having this is worth it and also might add value if you decide to sell later on...Are you taking both AC's over to UK?

[Dutch_Diver]

2 certificates order today so that I can start the registration process in the UK.....money more money

nice, comes with lots of useful information, especially in my case as I am trying to bring the beetle back to its original body color, interior color etc...

[Dutch_Diver]

We need to scan a pack for people to see....will do mine when I get them but I'm assuming that might be a few weeks off.

I dont mind scanning mine.....

[bugspray]

Sound cool to have, lol I have a birth sheet of my pheonix gold amp, could get one for the bug also, wikid, but mine is an SA beetle, i doubt they will have much info for mine...


DD whats a Q plate, whats so bad about it?

[karmakoma]

Q plate is a late model registration ,or in SA terms, numberplate. Like getting a y plate (currently) up in Gauteng for your 50 year old pride and joy...

[eben]

The 'Q' shows that the vehicle was either not originally registered in the UK and proof of age was unavailable at registration, or that it has been built using a significant proportion of used parts.

[Dutch_Diver]

A Q plate is given when you can't prove the origin (i.e. kit car) or the age! Not good in the UK as people think it's a banged together car.

So basically similar to a CODE 3 here in SA....built up or accident damaged and rebuilt and also deregistered and re-registered.

[Dutch_Diver]

Sounds like it....If I can proved from the manufacturer the origin of the vehicle as (VW) and the year....I can get a proper plate for them.
