1939 KDF Volkswagen Kübelwagen

I took this photograph at the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally at Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1990.

I made a note at the time that it was a 1939 Kübelwagen, but the DVLA record shows it as being manufactured in 1968 and has given it a 'G' registration which indicates cars registered between August 1968 and July 1969. Presumably the DVLA didn't make much of an effort to find  out the actual date that it was made - or it could just be a replica. The Kübelwagen was the German equivalent of the US Willys MB jeep and over 50,000 had been produced by 1945.
