im confused it says:

extras/options: M 401 and 462 cannot be identified.

WTF does that mean?

is it possible the Aus factory had its own coding?

Costa, as far as i know the CKD cars were just the first panel off the truck went with the first body and the first pan..... they didnt match them up ...... so thats why there could be differences in the birth certificates

correct me if im wrong.

ok so is this the reason why some things dont match up?

They got the engine and chassis number correct👍

I thought CKD cars were up to 64 and then the rest were made in aus?

But still cant work out what m 401 and m 462 is?
