Starting with the chassis number...

23 means in is a Kombi, 22 means it was built in 1972, 202977 is the production number. Is it RHD?

 

[Tintop]

Yes it's right hand drive.

Whereabouts is the engine bay stamp?

I've not noticed one in my engine bay, not that I've looked that hard.

If memory serves, it is on the right hand side under the air filter stand, but my memory ain't what it used to be.

22/202977 = 1972/chassis number


24 1 = Scheduled production date Monday 12th June 1972

Interesting, my chassis number is 204928 (if I remember correctly) and yet the vw letter I have says it was manufactured on 5th June 1972.
Perhaps I got it wrong, will check paperwork & vin plate when I get home tonight.
