Yes I actually have a 70 parts car with that exact label but can’t get an archival photo until after the weekend. If you haven’t got one before then I’ll post.

Not sure if the factory was too exact in its placement next to the VIN plate however. You know the Aussie way. “Close enuff’s, good enuff”.

Here you go.

Directly over the centre tunnel inspection plate.

Thanks for this, I was not expecting it to be there as my 71 Superbug has it to the right of the boot lock.

I guess the Superbug position is more visible where it is.

My '74 Super is about the same location as well so guess the position was somewhat standard depending on year.

I should have gone to Specsavers! I removed the spare wheel and low and behold it was there as well! My body is A0747 a little later than your car

I think that’s why they moved it on the super so it’d be more visible.
