Thread: 4 numbers before chassis number

Hi LRD4,

Here is the break down:

1 = model year - 1951

6 = Model

6 = CKD (Completely Knocked Down)

6 = RHD Export

Cheers,
Geoff

cheers for that, but I'm chasing what 3848previous to the chassis number means?

As per the pic!

There has been a lot of discussion over the years on the smaller numbers stamped prior to the rover chassis number system. Whilst the code has to my limited knowledge not been cracked the general consensus is that the numbers relate to a build number sequence of some sort. Looking forward to photos with the springs fitted. Cheers JT.

Hi Jt,

Just been researching this a little more and yep, found a few posts on this topic!

Does anyone know if all series 1's have these numbers before the serial numbers?

And if so, would it be worth while for all of us to compile a list to possibly decode it?

I've seen the poms do this with the serck radiator numbers.

yes its called a build number, most vehicles have it, only a very few pre pros don't!
