I own what i believe is a 1970 Deluxe Microbus 7 seater.
I think i read on here in the past about an M plate(think thats what its called) which helps to give information on your vehicle?

Could anyone give me any info on my Bay as im interested to know anything you cauld tell me what these numbers can give.
