Hi,
Welcome to the forum.

To get an age related plate you'll need some written proof of the age such as a letter from an authorised body like The Historic VW Club or, you best bet would be to send off for an official Birth Certificate from The VW Museum. This should give you lots of info including original colour, dealer info and optional extras fitted from new.

I'm not sure this works for SA built cars though? someone else might know? :?

If you can post some some pictures and give us the chassis, engine and body numbers someone should be able to tell you the month and year but it won't be good enough for the DVLA!
