Can anyone work out what year this Deluxe might be? its just a bare shell so no wiper motor to go by.

Type: YMA262

Body number: 26550
Number on radiator shroud: 26062
Engine number 9YA/Ta/H 27490

Paint code is 1/BURGUNDYRED/3 ..... also what does the preceding 1 and the following 3 represent?

Because I own 27568 and 33015. The latter is May 1968. The former is second half of '67.

Thanks again David... makes sense when you provide those facts.

GtOgreen based on your info wouldn't that make mine more likely closer to a 68? not that it matters too much.

Thanks guys

Even if you search the passport to service dates it is hard to pinpoint the exact month. Colours and locations can make a cars sale date a month or two different to its brother that came off the production line at the same time.
If you have a spare weekend. Try searching the forum and make up a list. Then take the average.

I wouldn't be to worried even if there was a 4 or 5 month difference between passports to service of similar numbers. The early date may have been preordered and the later one might have been the demo model - or beige :grin:
