Aircooled VW South Africa

Hi everyone, we are now the proud owners of a 1974 Bay window based Jurgens and are looking for some help with decoding the M plate. Can anyone help please.

Hi. That is not a M plate. You will not find it on your bus as it’s a Uitenhage assembled vehicle.

That plate specifies it was a panel van (autovilla’s were build from panel van bodies). It’s a 1974 model and has light brown seats with light brown door panels.

Thanks mate, that's a start, is there anyway of finding out what the rest of it means ?
