Wow...how unusual! How did you come across this Malcolm? It probably is a 1971 import although....it wouldn't have WET 329, a pre-63 registration, but a 'J' registration number plate, wouldn't it? Could find out at DVLA if it's still on the road...:wink:

DVLA check says: "Vehicle details could not be found" So doesn't look good. Isn't that paper just connected with the tax in '71 Malc? I would think that as stated on the paperwork, this was a car registered in May 1960.

WET 329 was issued in May 1960 in Rotherham.

Don't see much special about this, the original buff coloured log book would be more interesting. A point to note though that back in the '50s and early '60s the 'Beetle' was the Volkswagen and the name Standard is used to designate the model type, as opposed of course to the other model the Deluxe.8) That's a little more interesting I think :?:
