CAV VIN Data Plate
- Thread starter Veek
- Start date
It's #28. Not sure about the rest...
agree
The chassis number is 28 as is the number on the VIN plate and thus they are consistent. He is advertising it wrong.
Hmmm... I was told by Bob I had chassis #67, but the plate references #64. I have seen notes on the chassis that reference #67 & 68. Who knows. This said, I guess I have Car #64. Do I have this wrong? Perhaps it was a build #67, but there were 3 development mules ahead of mine that were not sold?

To the best of my knowledge that should be car 64.
Hmmm... Thanks guy's. Guess I need to correct my signature now!
Hi Veek,
About the VIN plate, here's what I can tell. 1A28MONOB66 1A - USA 2A is Canada for example, 28 - Production number 28th chassis built, MONO - Monocoque chassis the first CAVs where tube frames B66 - Body Style B as in Mk1b 66 as in 1966. Cars are usually issued a 17 digit vin by the liscence office for road use. Tah Dah!

Hi Veek,
You're welcome. The US and Canadian cars have the same staring point, however regulations prevent us from offering the South African built roller. Therefore we have much more work to do and take advantage of that opportunity to ad upgrades to the ventilation system, pedals, motor mounts, steering column, gear selector, suspension and body gaps etc.
For a while we were leading the factory in upgrades however I understand the latest production examples will come with most of what we've been doing as standard equipment.
This is great news for new buyers as Autofutra is totally committed to offering the best product possible.
CAV Canada has also tackled some more challenging modifications like right hand shift mechanism and wide track suspension to get those Gulf wheel arches filled.
Very cool stuff and great cars.
Cheers
