Hi folks, just wondered if anyone has come across the M code 213. Cant seem to find what it stands for anywhere.
Cheers all.

 

[sam@bugeyeddesigns]

Oh i've found the other one!

Can anyone help me work out the date it was built?

it reads:

12 9
793 794
21 426 508 521 790
UH 2211 522552 8020910

Thanks very much!

 

[Araon]

12 september 1968

although it was probably built within a few days of this date as this is the factory order receipted date.. so instead of a born on date more like a conception date.

Wouldn't that make it a 1969 model? Its a '68.

Does the 8 at the beginning of the VIN mean the actual year of manufacture or the 'model' year?

Sam.

I was using the same bible to decode a plate from a 72 mint Devon (feature bus :wink: ) today and got into the E (Emden built) bit..had not come across it before apparently only 67 - 73 export (mainly US) models but wondered if all Devons of that time also built and shipped at Emden as by then Devon were importing big time...so who has a Emden built bus out there?
