P1800 type plate

Fear_less_Leader · Nov 29th, 2008, 03:42

I would like to know what this plate means and how to find information about my car.

Like when it came off the Assembly line?
Items it came with?
Exc.

Thanks
Sorry I just got a p1800 from a junk yard. This is my first restore.

This is the site you're looking for. Gives you all the info you need on the 1800 including part manuals and workshop manuals to download. But also the explanation how to read the VIN.

To get the date of the car you will need the chassis number. This is part of the VIN and is stamped into the body of the car next to the heater valve. For your car it should start 184451 (which is the type number and details original configuration, the same as on the type plate), next there should be a letter which denotes the model year and then there should be the chassis number. Do not get confused with the body number which is on a separate plate and is of only passing interest. The body number will probably be similar to the chassis number but is almost never the same.
