    They obviously did things different over here.

    The only things on the plate are
    (and I quote)

    LL09 M40 N40 GU5 - which tells me EFI 6, trimatic, power steering and 3.23:1 gears.

    Below that lot was the number "508" stamped on the plate.

    Other kiwi commys I have seen have a sticker stuck on the pass side front shock tower inside the engine bay that had interior and exterior options but like I said the one on my car has faded to white and cant read anything.

    Cheers

    Cheers man, she is totally stock except for extractors.

    Was thinking about getting cop rims and powder coating them silver for her.
    I might start a new thread about the "standard" thing.
