Hi 79x100

Not that it matters as long as you get the information needed, the NOC has the original factory records retrieved after the closure. I worked on the 1947 transcription (3 months worth) for the NOC factory records project. We entered hand written information into an excel file so it can be easily retrieved or sorted. Each of us worked on 1,000 numbers at a time.
Neville Hinton sent me a copy of '71 production 151673 to 151703 and '72 production 200180 to 200239 and 200360 to 200389. Columns show date of completion, machine VIN, dealer shipped to, color, model and date shipped for '71 and machine VIN, Docket number, Model, Invoice, Dealer shipped to and date shipped for '72.

Hi everyone,

Thanks a million for the great responses - loads of very useful information, and a real education for an ignoramus like me ;)

Much appreciated!
Cheers,

Andy
