    trying to asetain the approx build date

    Chassis no 57661757

    so it is a 1955 model

    and with the serial number 1757

    so was wondering if hat is low enough that it would have been built in 1954 ?

    anyone have an idea?

    Had a look at the LRFAQ site and it says there were 2250 made with the prefix "5766" (55 model 86" basic, CKD, RHD, petrol).

    No personal experience (BMT) but I have been reliably informed that 54 was a good year.
