Built this day in 1972........
left the Wolfsburg factory on 5th October, cruised the street's of Germany for a couple of years then imported to the U.K in 1974 (hence the N reg) bought by me in 1994, sold in 1995, bought back again in 1999 for a grand less than what I sold it for, blew up two engines in (I think) 2010 one spectacularly in Germany! the other a month later at London Volksfest, restored by my dad with a bit of help by me in 2011/2 paint is not perfect but hey ho! no matter how many times it's broken down I would never sell it! Volkswagen's gotta love 'em

Happy 41st birthday , she looks very pretty.
I just missed celebrating the 40th for my 412 on 20th September, but as I don't have the birth certificate I couldn't be sure

Nice story, are those original Cosmics? I have just been offered a set but I'm unsure of the offset, they look just right on your notch. The guy selling them showed me a pic of 14 stamped on the rims but I'm sure they have a better offset than that.

Thanks yeah mine are original, took me a couple of year's to find a good set, these ar 15" and 5 1/2 all round, a guy called Bondo (I think) from on here, I believe had 6's on the back of his Fastback, he recently sold the wheels tho.
