What colour '66 is this??

Post by SlamWagen66 »

Hi everyone, got my first bug and first car the other day..
Can someone tell me what colour it is, I think it's 'Bahama Blue' but I thought that was a LHD colour only. Mine is a January '66 RHD.

The model number for a right hand drive deluxe would be 114. Both TheSamba.com and 1966vwbeetle.com list bahama blue as an available color for a model 114. The listing of a 114 as being left hand drive would be incorrect.

Great looking blue BUG. Keep us posted on the progress.
Why on a roll back? Original? Stock? Running?

An old car nut who got his driver's license in a new 1961 VW and has owned 10 VW's (1957-1972) since then. Favorite was the 67's (2), but the 66 is the longest owned and current VW.

hey,

nice looking bug you've got there. My firs wonder was just as Rodbug asked...why on a roll back???

I bet the colour's just as mentioned by the rest. One thing I noted is, it seems this things develop similar aging as well. Couldn't help noticing the door bottom that's developing rust. Mine too has an advanced state of the same. Will get a few pics up soon.

Cheers.
