Thanks for reply, attached pic of dash area i think its slightly darker than the exterior, the outside has been repainted not sure about the dash?

I always thought it looked like dove blue? appears similar to comericial splits vans?

sure i have seen another 53 beetle in the same or similar colour at stanford hall a few years ago?

cheers

That looks too light to be Azure blue, looks like Dove blue to me.

Thanks for the reply 09 sounds like a plan....

after reading some of the older posts i see you might rember my car as i bought it from Owen.

..drove it to work - about a mile each way in dry weather for about 6 months, its been in the garge since 2000.....

used to start it fairly regular...needs brake work and fuel issues etc to get it back on the road now....

Hello,
No I was still living in NZ in 2000! I bought a split from him in 2002, but then we only got together late 2005 after I had bought lots of parts for it. I suppose there are probably not too many crazy women hunting for 50 standard parts :lol:

He will remember the car though I'm sure. If you look in the 'old beetle pics' in the gallery on our website maybe it is there? I have much larger scans of the old photos if it is.

You will need to book Hessisch Oldendorf 09 registration asap though, it seems to be getting more 'over-full' by the minute!
:d
