Hi Folks ... Does anyone know the Chassis number of the very last flat-floor 3.8 FHC RHD ?

Thanks Gary

Do we have a handle on the dates that these changes were made ? I ask because my non-flat-floor 877393 Heritage Certificate says made on the 28 May 1962, so whilst that's a good 800 cars past the end of the flat-floors, the letter shown must have been sent out within a few weeks of its production date.

My chassis is 876959 , (was lhd) has dished floors and dished rear panel behind the seats. This seems to tie in with the bullitin above.

I have 885517, a 62 LHD FHC that should have been just a few cars past the last flat floor. It has flat bulkhead with footwells. Likely built around 18 January 62.

Ignore the date of the SPB as they were sent out a few weeks after the change. The chassis numbers do tend to be accurate though otherwise it would have caused a headache for the Factory and the dealers.
