Last post by Dave - 29 May 2024, 09:57Hi there,
Sounds like they are becoming hens teeth in the UK then. We have a '73 L plate stored away since 1996. In need of a restoration unfortunately when finances allow.
KCV 14L - Built March 1973 - First Registered in Luton 23 May 1973

General / UK semi-autos
Last post by Chippy Senior - 22 May 2024, 23:29Hi all,
Having only owned a 1970 SA since Oct'23 I'm new to the game and have been trying to establish how many others survive in UK. So far (via a Facebook group) we have ID'd 17 beetles on the road, 4 in resto and 4 karmann ghia.
I have come across a copy of a letter from VW Automuseum jn '98 stating they have no records of exactly how many were supplied to UK, but that 610,300 were produced in total. It is not clear whether this is exclusively beetle or includes KG.
A Semi-Auto Beetle Register [UK] used to exist in the 90s but this is now long defunct. In '98 they had over 150 cars on their list. They produced Newsletters, sold stickers and at one point even t-shirts, although I have yet to see one or its design. I thought the above might be of general interest to some. If anyone can provide further info (of any nature), let me know.

Technical / ATF Tank Capacity
Last post by Legacy - 09 April 2024, 21:14I recently drained and removed the ATF tank from a 69 Karmann Ghia to paint the engine compartment. Didn't measure how much fluid was in the tank before I drained it. Can someone give me an estimate of how much fluid the tank holds so I know how much to get.
Thanks much
Thanks much

Technical Information / Pops out of first on decelerat...
Last post by BUgsy71 - 27 February 2024, 06:30So my trans has started popping out of first, but only on deceleration. It goes right back in, no problem. Any ideas would be great. New shift bushing, new coupler, shiftrod clamp and spring in place, new motor mounts. Checked lockout plate, and clutch servo control arm. I'm at a loss.
