Hi there

New to the forum!

Wanted to know what is the oldest RHD bay in the uk? Because my fathers van is pretty old!
if anyone could help us out, would be appreciated!

I believe there are a few 67 built early Bays in the UK.

This topic has been discussed before on the forum - if you use the search facility at the top of the page you should be able to find something.

is there a RHD van older than the 27th of august '67? because that's when my dads one was built. it's an original panel van.

That's pretty old. Dave from Malvern who used to post here had a 67 panel, he was 67panel actually, but I don't know the month etc

Edit - his was Oct 67

Worth looking at this thread in the history section

Not sure if the linked to register is still active.

Mines a 67 built rhd British bus, but wasn't registered till March 68...... Has no fire wall behind engine whitch means super early... How do you find out the build date!

No 68's had the firewall, so that not a real sign.

If you look on the m plate, there will be a month and day build date on it. Or put the chassis numbers and codes into the m-plate website and that should tell you.

I thought only the first six months built had no fire wall so late 67 early 68! Will look into the m codes so thank you
