Birth Certificate for the little fellow

If you go to the Volkswagen AutoMuseum and fill-in their Certificate Generator (oh, and remit 35 Euros), they will research your little hobby car, and send you a birth certificate that tells when your car was made, where is was shipped, and what options were included.

More info can be found in this thread at TheSamba.com

Is it really necessary (and worth the money)? Maybe not. Depends on how much you want to know about your car, its history, and its original color-scheme/engine/configuration/etc. Since I want to try and keep it original, I’m curious to see if there’s something about Beevis that I don’t already know.

Do the Samba

One of the better resources on the web for Volkswagen information has to be TheSamba.com. I signed up today. Accounts are free, and there is a huge amount of information available with the technical data that’s warehoused on the site, and through the forums where other Volkswagen owners ask/answer every imaginable questions.
