Vehicle history S2a

[Pommy Paul]

Was just wondering if anyone could help me out with a little history. I have owned my series 2a (Alfred the great) for about 12 years now which was a one owner from new before me and spent its life working in NSW forests. I was informed it was a 63 model when I got it but have since found it was a 62. It was brought to Australia by the SS Hector in 62 and delivered to a Grenville motors ltd in the September. On roadworthing the car the guy at the garage wrote down that it was a 67 model unfortunately. I am trying to get a personal number for the old girl that relates to her age. Can anyone confirm the chassis no 24302100a is 62 although the engine 25212041F seems to be later. I need to get some written evidence to show QLD transport before they will amend the rego...thx for any help given....Paul

Ok, remlr.com can help here.

The Aust Army supply contract for the CKD S2A has all the details on early 2A 88s. The army 88in registrations begin around 3/1963 (ch 24303300A) and are listed here:

Certainly not 1967, as that would have a 'C' suffix. But I don't have any documentation to support that. If you put the chassis number into Calvin (Clifton Scientific Text Services, the Netherlands (http://www.clifton.nl/index.html?calvin.html)) it will give the range of years covered by the suffix, but I don't know whether that will be enough for them.
