Hi I've a question about my project barndoor the chassis no
20-049xxx puts it about April 53 in the technical section but the original Swedish papers say 2-22,1953 it's on the papers that way and first registered for the road in October 1954 my question is is 2-22,1953 or is April the actual build thanks chris |
