The 68 model year production started in August 67 so yes it's possible to have a 68 model year registered in 1967, after August. Not that many of them around though.

 

[8adgerx]

So it should be the same as a 68

A 68 model year bus would be built between August 67 and July 68, a 69 model year between Aug 68 and July 69, etc.

So a '67 bay' must be a 68 model year, even if built in 67.

I hope I have this right and have not made a total arse of myself in public. :lol:

The 68 model is renowned for having many 'one year only' features, making it much sought after but also awkward to source original/NOS parts for. Or so I understand.

If you are getting a 68 and you want the original parts is probably worth checking a few of the one year only bits to see if they are there.

Ones that spring to mind are:
Wiper arms (silver with a grub screw)
Rear view mirror (long silver stalk)
Brake fluid reservoir (small kidney shaped bottle in LHS kick panel)
Doors (pull knob type with push button handles)

Saves you a load of hassle trying to find them if you're bothered

A 67 build bay is the absolute holy grail of early bay ownership
