Australian 50th Birthday Question
Posted: Tue Sep 02, 2008 10:32 pm
G'day All,
My recently registered Minor is approaching his 50th birthday (of date of original sale). It is a 1958 4 Door saloon, and the ID plate states he's from the Zetland plant in New South Wales, which is to be expected.
I've read a fair bit about the Zetland plant, its history and the processes used there, but I want a couple of specifics.
My car number is: FA51/6/598707/08991
I'm trying to discover two things:
1/ Was this car a CKD import?
2/ Was the Rotodip process used for CKD cars and was it in use when mine was there? (I believe it commenced in Zetland in early 1958)
Any information or directions to info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
