Dennis

[Reg Evans]

I like it ALOT !

[Guest Federico]

Very nice car!!, congrats on being the owner. Just a question, the thing above the windshield (sorry, but my native language is spanish and I don't really know the word for that)... is that original? or an accesory form those years?

I have seen some of them in this forum, and I always wanted to ask.

Thanks!

[Brendan D25]

Thanks for the compliments guys. Hi Frederico, what you are referring to above the windshield is a sunvisor. I don't think it came from the factory but was probably installed afterwards by the dealer or the owner. There are a couple of different styles, the one on my car was made in Canada by "Universal" another popular syle was made by "Fulton" in the U.S.

Super looking car Brendan. I see the radio antenna was installed on the passenger side of the cowl on this one.

[D25_Steve]

What is the paint code on the firewall? (and do you know the original colour?)

What is your sun visor made of?

Our 2 D25s have both had the antenna on the opposite side, so like P15s it must have varied.

[Brendan D25]

Hi Steve, the sunvisor is made of aluminum and was made by Universal, Toronto, Ont. The original color for my car should be a little darker than it is now,maybe Marine Blue,it was painted about 30 years ago and I was told by a p.o. that it was done with 1966 Volkswagen color.

[Brendan D25]

Steve,the paint code on my car is 4012, body#17740, trim code BAB, serial #9751124,it came from your part of the country,British Columbia. As for the antenna, I suspect that it came without a radio originally as there is a radio delete plate in the glove box and the antenna is aftermarket.

[D25_Steve]

Adding to the mystery. Thanks for the info on your firewall colour, I am trying to see if I can decifer them. I was sort of leaning towards one hypothesis, but that would have made your car pilot green (see DAL-40012 DQE).

[Brendan D25]

I don't think I left out a 0. I'll take another look tomorrow. What are those paint chips from?

[D25_Steve]

Nope Brendan, you didn't leave out a zero. I was thinking that one of the zeros might not have mattered though. Our D25 is 4020, and I was thinking it may have been an Ornico green. Canadian Vehicles apparently are the only ones with paint codes on the firewalls. If we get the other D25 owners to post their paint codes, perhaps eventually we'll be able to figure something out. Who knows.
