Chassis data plate

[nzchevy]

I am looking into having the data plate reprinted for my Series II, (unless anyone knows if they are already available?). This is the plate riveted to the bonnet slam panel. I am having difficulties reading some of the information. Does anyone have a good one they could post a picture of?

Thanks

Excellent thank you.

I wonder what that number at the very bottom of the plate means? I've also got a number but in addition on that line mine also reads ' BW 35 Automatic' because mines an automatic.

Thanks

If u mean the 1,216,444 Roger I assume it's a build number. I could be wrong though.

Interestingly, I just checked another photo of a plate from a different car and that has the same number, 1,216,444, so it's obviously not a build number. The number on my plate is 1,217,826. The only other difference on my plate is for the gearbox oil which reads 'Shell Donax T6 , All Temperatures' but that would be because mines an automatic.

What year is your car Roger? And what year was the car with my matching number?

[nzchevy]

Mine is registered December '62 and according to the DVLA the other one was registered March '64, (although it has a 'pre-reg' number and I thought this meant the car had to be earlier than'63?).

No mate mines a pre reg as u can see and mines registered early 64. So around the same time as the matching car u mentioned so maybe the number is related to the build age somehow.
