checked a few more 912Es on BAT.
all of them have WEST GERMANY. so they flip over from the start. very quick check on beetles on BAT. looks like they keep GERMANY on vin label until end of 76MY and flip to WEST GERMANY for 77MY which is mid 76 calendar year if they did the flip at model year change. 76 77 this one is pretty cool. roger daltry's vw cab. 77 model. rhd - english market. they were still using the stamped metal manufacture id plate for the ROW cars. old style. WEST GERMANY. its a nice car. great color. man it was well documented in advert. a ton of photos. so basically it was all going down in that time period. 75-77 changeover from status of country and its name. and all the products are getting sorted. my belief is they probably hoped to transition to west germany on these labels once it all got oked by internation treaties. diplomatic stuff but the feds like any random bureaucracy got them by the neck in the USA and didn't care. insisted on a name there and then no matter what was in the pipeline just ahead. |
