47 = type of car
6 = year
29= I forget
03123= production number

so your car is the 3123 model 1976 produced.

Geoff, you're a little prejudiced, aren't you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)


in general I'd say all teeners are worth a pic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

More meaning can be found in the chassis number, that is on the little tag in the front trunk and on the Karmann badge along with the paint code. Let me know so it can be added to the database.
