Tat

Saw this on another thread, well done. Absolute bummer for the Gold Coast though to lose it.

Best of luck with the resto

There might be an ID plate on the bulkhead, behind the drivers seat.
This is called an 'M' code plate. It is like a birth certificate. It will tell you the build date, original colour scheme, original destination etc.
Put up a pic of the plate, and we will decipher it for you.

Good work and from under the noses of the northerners!
