Hello Aleem bhai!!
Its great to hear from you again. So ur back in town?? So am I!!
Good to know you are on the trail of that ragtop. Its a good project even under all the piles of junk and all. Its missing the motor and some parts but still its a good starting point. I am not sure about the model though. Neither is the owner. If you get to see its papers we can make out from the chassis number. 59 and 60 model fuel tanks are the same IMO. I think they changed over to the flatter tank in 1961.
That car has room for semaphores in its posts I have seen. European bugs came with semaphores till 1960 or maybe even 1961.
About the models of these project bugs.....well its your luck. These are just the bugs brought in for scrapping. I think most are between the years 1964 and 1972 mostly. Its just your luck.
The problem stands that most are hacked up in a day or two of being purchased as they are big money for the scrappers. I calculated once that they make about twice the amount they pay for an average car from sale of scrap metal and parts.
So its gonna be an instant buy if it has to be.
Will let people know if any such cars are available.
Regards.
