Hi
Looking for some help with the information on my M plate on a 03/68 Microbus.
Plate code is 522552.
Using the VW Transporter and Microbus book by Vincent Molenaar and Alexander Prinz as a guide.
So by my workings out using the book says its a Sonderlackierungen ( special paint job ) first number in code 5 .
Second part of code is 22 which shows it as a microbus colour.
Third part of code is 552 , in the book 552 does not appear however 551 does and it shows the correct colour of the vehicle as Neptune blue .
So my question is why would this appear as a special paint job as Neptune blue was a standard colour on that year along with a cloud white roof.
The VW birth certificate shows as colour cannot be identified as well as the M plate decoder.
Can anyone confirm if the last part of the code the 2 relates to the white roof?
Also to quote from the line in the book next to code 551 in the remarks column it states Westfalia any idea why that would be. ( i know what a westy is btw ) and my bus is not one.
Any help would much appreciated.
Thanks Al
