Bus Identification Plate.

So you want to know how to Identify your Bus? The chassis number can be found on a plate fitted to the panel alongside the drivers seat. The first 2 numbers of the chassis number donate the basic type, for example "21" is the van, "22" and "24" the micro bus in standard or de-luxe versions, "23" the Kombi, "26" the pick-up range and "27" is the ambulance. The 3rd figure denotes the model year. "8" for example is model year "1968" which runs from August 1967 to July 1968. The remaining digits are the serial numbers for the model year changes.
