I looked at a " '59 camper" today, but the M-Code plate is as follows



30 03 0

156

221 GRGRVFN 589593




Sooo, by using the info. on this site, it was built March 30, 1960
but no export code?? 156 = Larger oil bath air filter

No export code =

Export Destination
(missing for German-delivered vehicles)



Was it just a kombi? later converted into a camper?

what is the GRGRVFN and the 589593??

Help!

Thanks...

Yes, it's a German-delivery Bus.

The 221 means it's a Standard Microbus.

If it's a camper, it's probably a later conversion.

The GRGRVFN is the german abbreviation for Mango Green and Seagull Grey.

589593 is the VIN #.

Hey,

The 589593 is your chassis number

and I believe the

GRGRVFN is your colour combination.

221 would make it a Microbus w/cargo doors right, left hand drive, full middle seat

GRGREEN is Mango Green and Seagull Grey too. I guess the UK since it is English and RHD.
