The engine capacity is given in cubic centimetres (cc). These are listed here as beginning with ‘1’, even though the highest non-letter engine number in practice was 9800000. This listing is sorted numerically, then alphabetically.Įarly Beetle and Transporter engines made before 1965 did not have a letter code, but rather just a consecutive number.
