G’day everyone
I’m trying to find any history on my 1970 bedford bus I have limited info and can’t find a compliance plate only the VIN number on the chassis rail

The original paint was a blue/green colour
Iv looked at plenty of photos and haven’t found a bus the same as mine
Any help would be great cheers,lee

No such thing as a compliance plate in those days, don't bother looking any more.

The chassis no should be identifiable, does it have a body builder plate/number inside?

There’s no plates/numbers inside footwell or cab area
How do I identify the bus via the VIN number
Google ?

There may be people here with the knowledge; they may take some time to respond.
