Thread: whats this tag on the bulkhead?

I have a stamped Aluminium? plate just before the radiator with the chassis no. + 3/75 which is the build date + "GVW4453" (I'm unsure what this is).


There are no plates in the cab , just holes sadly!


Mines a 75 CKD Diesel.

The

L34391
10934391

is the Pressed Metals Corporation vehicle assembly serial number.

Your vehicle is the 34,391st long wheelbase assembled at the Land Rover assembly plant in Enfield NSW.

thanks for the reply's

cheers for that mate, im trying to learn everything i can about the leaf sprung landy's

so this is where my landy was built, did they assemble them anywere else in aus?

whats the L, assembly plant location code or something?

here is a picture of the tag anyway






And Dark61 the "GVW4453" stands for "Gross vehicle weight" it is the maximum operating weight for your vehicle so the maximum operating weight your your landy is 4453lb

im pretty sure thats it, anyone correct me if im wrong

Under the paint the plate looks like this.




This is from a IIa GS, painted in service but at least they attempted to mask off the serial number plates etc.

That's useful Mate - and thanks for the picture as I had two holes I couldn't make sense of next to the eight holes for the info plates. Now I know!


cheers

sweet that makes sense, lazy bastards could have remove the plates before paint.

cheers fellas

wow I was wondering what that plate on my 88 was for/about!



Here is mine.

Either they didn't make as many 88's or mine is a lot older than yours
