Re: "6" designation
Have said "Thanks" to Russ via email - if ALL Clubs work TOGETHER, life, certainly mine, would be a lot easier!
Thanks, Russ.
Feel a bit ashamed here, should have figured this out YEARS ago!!
To sum up; 1st number
"5" = CKD.
2nd denoted; "1" = RHD (NOT exclusively Hm.Mkt), "3" = LHD & "5" = CKD finish/Primer(?)
From 12/56 - 10/62 "6".
However, several "53's" in Oz, which cannot be correct - gets worse - as daft as giving a diary to a Goldfish.
If you can please get the cab number from that "OG" DOMI and confirm those Chile LCVs have vins higher than 50001, most appreciative!
thanks Russ.
Chris

Re: "6" designation
Well done Chris!
If you read back in the discussion you can make your own minds up. I hope everyone can see that all I was trying to do in commenting, was mediating to get an eventual result in my own sweet northern way.
It is easy to accept the situation you are reading about and walk away, but usually it all blows up about perception, entrenched views, and the past, so I did comment to help open up the discussion, and then hopefully common sense would prevail for the benefit of all. Apologies to anyone that found my comments didn't help.
I just want Chris to get his long awaited info book finished!

Re: "6" designation
Chris not sure I go along with the 53 scenario. Can't see the Nuffield system being changed for a few. We know 6 was used but take the early Domi van one would have expected to be CKD but clearly is a 35. But realistically had it been a CKD 65 would have been order
53 in oz in my my opinion is correct as intended not over complicated ad you suggest
My views only based on what we know
The last I shall say on the matter

Re: "6" designation
Hold my head in shame....DUH!
3 pages of twaddle from me - I do tend to over analyse these things - sometimes it works,sometimes, such as in this case, it doesn't, forgot painting was done AFTER assembly....award me 100 Pillock points please!
So, if you can confirm age of those Chilli vans are pre/post 49801 please Russ, AND can contact the owner of the DOMI van(?).
Eagerly await answers from Russ!
Cheers

It DOES seem like you're doing your level best to hinder the progression of the book - life's too much of a hastle for me at the moment - all I seem to do is battle to get information, and when someone DOES have the ability to help they cannot be bothered to answer questions....so looks increasingly likely book will be aborted.
Thanks Russ, glad I helped with both your books!

Re: "6" designation
Sorry..... thought I had helped? As I said they were my opinions in the posting its up to you if you agree or not.
Not sure why you have made the comments you have, if you think the 53 is something else that your opinion I only offered my view
Why is the book being aborted! Because of 2 vans in Chile and one in Denmark, sadly I have no e mail contact with the guy in Chile for over 10 years and the van in Denmark, not what you require on that. Thought you had all you wanted

Re: "6" designation
First 2 digits of Chile LCV chassis numbers AND a few minutes emailing the owner of the DOMI van - surely have a name/address contact - must have a "contact" who'll know?RussLCV wrote:Sorry..... thought I had helped? As I said they were my opinions in the posting its up to you if you agree or not.

Book needs tidying tbh - "53" thing a red herring - have to investigate everything, this takes an awful lot of time!
If you can dig that info out for me - not THAT much of an effort required - remember, as the LCV guru, would of thought you'd be willing to assist with LCV based enquiries(?)
Thanks Russ

Re: "6" designation
Come on Chris, you could go on forever finding information. What you have already would create enough interest to make this book feasible. As long as the British lcv stuff is there, of course!!

Re: "6" designation
Do get the impression EVERYTHING'S against it - fighting and begging for info is exhausting - Russ' list would aid me enormously, but since taking on Civvy LCVs, help hasn't been forthcoming.les wrote:Come on Chris, you could go on forever finding information.

I'll probably do a few printed copies for LCV fans.

Re: "6" designation
I know what you are saying Les!!!
I note how the attitude change Chris and teddies are thrown out, you need to re-read my last posting
I said I have no contact with the LCVs in Chile for over 10 years.
The DOMI............... as I said not sure what we require I have all the details on this one. WHAT DO YOU REQUIRE ON THE DOMI
The owner of the DOMI is known to me I can e mail him with with your details if you wish in order he can contact you I think it would be wrong to supply his details without his permission likewise yours without your permission.

Re: "6" designation
For Info Chris
BMC awarded licences to three different companies in Chile to produce Minors production started 1962 and ceased during 1964 and in the same year began to assemble other BL vehicles. They even were marketing Minors under the Austin name well before the badged as such in the UK. Over 500 LCVs were assembled!
The 3 licence holders were EMSSA, even built quarter tons as Austin's, Compañía Anglo-Chilena also built saloons, and the last Industría Anglo-Americana managed 6 pick ups before closing in 1962
I have e mailed a complete list of production figures by e mail

Holland as I said must have produced '6' as the picture shows series II commercials being built in Holland
