This should help

EDIT. Gromit has already posted this

What is the chassis number of you wide light one?

Vehicles in the 253201**C started arriving at Grenville Motors from the PMC factory as early as April 1967 and 253209**C seemed to finish June July 1967.

They all had suffix H engines.

New Zealand assembly may have differed slightly.

Hope this helps a little.

BTW: I'd be interested to know if the chassis number was stamped on the LHS rear spring shackle bracket like Pop058s and Oz production or on the RHS front spring hanger like UK production?
