Letters & Numbers

Just thought I would provide some data on the car itself. It's amazing what a compliance plate, VIN and Body tag numbers will provide about the making of the car.

I will get back in contact with the seller, and see if he has any specific history of the car.

VIN - 8M70RFL3xxxxJ

M - Commercial vehicle
70 - Panelvan
R - Engine 4.2lt
F - Year 1976
L3 - GMH Adelaide Plant, Elizabeth
J - HJ Series

Trim Code is 1898-19V - Black

Paint code - 567-15944 - Deauville Blue Metallic

Transmission - M20 - Aussie 4 Speed Manual

GU4 - Rear Axel ratio - 3.08:1

Engine L32 - High Compression 253

There's a bit of a question at the moment if the dash fascia should be black (like trim code) or silver, as a couple people have mentioned that the HQ and HJ models have. Something we'll have to investigate.
