I need help to verify a VIN number.
I want to buy the beetle but the VIN looks self stamped or something.
Can any help me to back my suspicion?
And if so, what can be done?
Its a 1600S Curved window beetle. I think a 1975 year
Kind regards

Re: Vin number help Authenticity
Thats a SAPS re stamped number.
That means the car was recovered or rebuilt and the SA police issued a new number to get it onto the e-natis system.
As long as the papers have the same numbers all will be fine.
You can have the lic Dept confirm this if you want

Re: Vin number help Authenticity
Keep in mind that a restamped VIN pretty much strips a car of any collector value.
No worries if you just want to enjoy your classic.

Re: Vin number help Authenticity
Thank you for the advise.
Yes i understand there will be no value as collector item.
Bought the beetle and intend to keep
Will post some project photos when I start with it.
