Interesting one Rob. Any idea when/where taken?

According to the DVLA it's only been out of tax about a year and it's a 1957

The vehicle details for YKR 831 are:

Date of Liability 01 02 2008
Date of First Registration 07 03 1957
Year of Manufacture Not Available
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1192CC
CO2 Emissions Not Available
Fuel Type Petrol
Export Marker Not Applicable
Vehicle Status Unlicensed
Vehicle Colour SILVER

However, as it shows all the signs of an earlier car, hearts, batwing and ribbed doors, I suspect it's not a UK dealer supplied car, rather a RHD from Singapore or the Southern Hemisphere that arrived in the UK in 57.

Like you, would love to know more, especially if it is a UK car.

Robs is going up and rust is only cool on a rare car once you've removed the ground clearance!

Yes, I think that sums it up pretty well :lol: THANK GOD we all prefer to be uncool here! :lol:

Although you are slightly wrong too because in fact 'rally beetles' DO by far 'out-cool' ANY show and go car, and always will! :d

Looks like it is a pre aug 55 car! Even though the DVLA has told Martin that it is a 57, this could have a later chassis!:cry:

Its a lovely colour, looks like polar silver which I never thought it was available with a vert?:?
