Reg translation

ExoduS 18.11

Hello, i'm just wondering can anyone tell me the year of my baywindow, her reg is 564 OZC. Thanks a million folks !

That will only tell you what year it was reg'd, if you want more detail and a model year look for the M-plate behind the passenger seat.

I know, this is the only info i have at the moment as the actual van is two hours away, can anyone tell me when it was registered then ? Thanks

between '73 and '80 I'd imagine, it's a late baywindow van, isn't it?
I've PM'd you on T2I re wheelbase, all the years of the late baywindow are the same BTW

Cant beat experienced knowledge ! I reckon it is, should be up within the fortnight!

How's that for vague?

I have no idea what year that reg is but there were a lot of changes in the early '70s, it's important you get the right model when buying parts.

If it's after '73 it's not such a problem.

I was told it was a '73 but just needed it confirmed! Surely somebody knows how the old systems of regs works?

January 78 to be really pedantic,though it could still be a 73 bus,if it was imported here in 78 it would have got a 78 reg.

Aye i think it was brought in from the north! Thanks for the help ! I dont suppose anyone knows the maximum tyre width of the back wheels for arch clearance?? :P

trevorbrady

it all depends on wheel offset. If you're upsizing the wheels to get some extra width you need to be careful with the width and offset selection. I've only got standard wheels and tyres on my van so can't advise. Ask the question on type2Ireland.org

turns out she's a 72 ! thanks justin for that website! Yea i'm thinking 16inch, dunno whether to rake or not?

What month in '72? If it's August or later it's a '73 model.

Round bumpers - 72

Square - 73

third digit of the chassis number is "8" so it's a '78 model

Cool

It would have been so much easier if they just had filled in the "Baujahr" on that plate
