I am only 50:50 this year. Depends on a couple of things....

My 411 is a 'K'. There's a 'G' sedan somewhere I think. I also thought I'd seen a 'P' on a variant

flipping eck - look at the arches! I like the 'body is good, but needs lots of welding' quote!
Just off outside to do some more bodywork on my project!

ps my 412 is also an 'N' reg.

Well, we managed 3 411s at BVF yesterday! A guy came over in the afternoon to say he had two type 4's, both on the road. I think he was in Chesterfield but he never goes on the internet. He has a 412 variant and a 411 sedan (like you Shawn). The variant is running on lpg with the tank in the front a...

It's funny ain't it! The car only ran for 6 years and these changes kept happening.
I know which parts you're after on fleabay!

Hey - sounds good. Now you're making me feel incompetent! See you there.

See you at BVF then. Have a good journey.

and me - I thought mine was only worth about 1500

same with minis - they've just disappeared

There are only about 50 type 4's left in the country, maybe as much again hidden away.
Good luck

going to bvf at malvern?
just got back from the busstopover. It was pretty rubbish and a long drive.
BVF is good and last year I think we managed 3 type 4's!

yep, past parts is your best bet.
There was a rumour that they had a clutch slave cylinder on their shelf. If so, grab it!

Yes, the 50 estimate seems about right. The number of 411s came out at around 20. We only have 12 on the type 4 map (plus one I am breaking so 13), so over half way there to tracking them down! Only 18/50 for the 412s though, so I reckon there must still be a few in 'old gentlemen's lock-ups' waitin...

Hi - I can cut off a section for you from the 411 on my drive, so long as it is not the back end as I already have chopped those off. Can you show me a picture?

RE: numbers of type 4's left I have tried several time to get information out of the DVLA and they have lied to me about it costing too much to get and refused to give me the information. I know they are lying because I have spoken to the police and a friend of mine who worked on the DVLA database. ...

Where are you based Jon? Need to get your car on the type world map

Woah, stop Richard, the US ones do not fit!!!! They are left hand drive and a mirror image of the UK ones. Been there, done, that, got the NOS LHD one in shed number 2!

That is a good project, NOT!

That is good news. Something from a Beetle that fits a type 4!
Thank you.
I hope the weather in Finland is good for you too at the moment.
I was in Finland in 1998 in my type 2 camper. We drove through to Russia from Finland. I must find the pictures.

and mine!

Hi - quick one this. Is the steering wheel boss on a 411/412 the same as for a beetle? I had an identical wheel on my 1303, but is the boss the same?
Ta muchly
