Hi there,

i Just purchased a type3 notch. rego says 1967 model but fairly sure it isn't a 1967 model. can someone confirm for. me. I have checked it out on another site but would like the qulaity assurnace check from someone else who may now.

It is not push button dash, it is a 1500, not 'S', and it does have bullet fron indicators and is right hand drive aussie. Will try and get some pics up.

Chassis number 315010013
Engine number 0469352

cheers
Jason

Oh and can someone tell me how to remove the gauges to check them for dates. I haven't had a type3 in a while and forget how to get them out.

Added info. 65 model from the first month of production (August 1964) Engine number is from about mid 1964 so must have been hanging around the Clayton store unused in the 64 models.

Hand under dash and squeeze the leaf springs in to release gauges. Two per gauge.
