peteretep Posted August 19, 2004 Author Share Posted August 19, 2004 here are the codes, all ive found out so far was that is was built in december 1970 in wellington. Vehicle Serial Number: CLATKG 65365. Drive: 2. Engine: J. Trans: 5. Axle: C. Trim: D393. Paint: OE2 BV1. S.V.C.: KP. if anyone could help me more id appreciate it:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinx Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Drive - 2 - Right Hand Drive. Engine - J - 1.3 of some sort. Should be a number after it as well. Trans - 5 - ? Normally B for manual and D for auto. Axle - C - 3.89:1 ratio diff I can't help with the rest sorry. Paint and trim will be NZ spec so finding info on those will be very difficult. Best bet would be the RS owners club or something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
