Post by cloud »

Can anyone tell me (this site has not failed me yet) what the car No. on the firewall indicates. Mine is hard to make out but looks like FCU 41/ 524759 does it indicate year or the fact that it is a traveler???
Thanks for your help

"FLU41" would be correct for a dark green north american export traveller - the numbers are the unique chassis identifier.
