1978 VB 5.0 SLE Build Numbers.

[Inzp70]

Hi Guys,

Would anyone know how many SLE 5.0 ‘s were built in 1978? Mines a 10/78 build, so I’m assuming it’s one the first batches. Thnx. Frank.

Here is a 3/78

That’s the prototype.

Compare the "8" in your "78" to the "8"s in the various other numbers on the plate, then compare it to the "9" in the number 29 on the third line of digits, above the "EN" in HOLDEN.

Or, zoom in on your "78".

I did. Then I divided that by the number of spanners in a Sidchrome tool kit and then added the number I first thought of.

I’ll see myself out.
