hi steve

details are...body EK/225-213M
trim 712-965
paint 585-4582
top 585-0246

I'll have to get the engine number, it's not in the car but i think it's not the original because the front end is fb.

Hi Guys.

I couldn't resist commenting on the 333 stamp on the early FB van.

It could be a continuation of the option code 333 from the FE/FC days.

FE/FC panel van upper tailgates did not get glass as standard, they had a plain steel body-coloured panel fitted instead. RPO 333 was the option number for glass to be fitted. It must have been very popular, in my lifetime I've only seen a handful of these vans with the steel panel. Nearly all surviving FE/FC vans have a glass upper tailgate & 333 on the body plate. As a matter of fact the earlier body plate had provision for the RPO to be stamped but the later FCs just had it stamped in the lower RH corner of the plate, just like the FB in the picture.

I'm not sure if GM-H ever intended the steel/glass upper tailgate thing to continue into FB with RPO 333 still available. But it is possible as this car is a very early p/van.

Will do Tim,
Its down near the dipstick right?
Also would not be surprised if engine has been changed, given it came from a police impound, no id plate, and overspray on rear window.
Would not be surprised if it's not even original colour.

Oooops! I had a third link 1114 in my first post- this is not my car - I was too quick on the trigger - mine looks like this car but without spats and aerial. If this is yours EKfanPaul2, my apologies for the mistake.

Any information on its history would be greatly appreciated.
