[Motor Mouth]

GTJIM..... I hear what you're saying about the '68-69 issue and it's relation to the Chassis / VIN number but having looked at some of the old posts form when I had my 68GT, I have to come back to the following quote, which came from the people maintaining the GT chassis number records, 'The oldest GT we're acquainted with is 94 15 582 00, Marks (aka Motor Mouth) GT has the nr. 94 16 076 62.

My chassis number is definitely higher than your cut off, in fact, the oldest GT chassis number they're aware of, 94 15 582 00, is higher than the cut-off you identify but I have to maintain that, as you've rightly pointed out, my GT was registered in the UK in Nov 68, this has to mean that the car was built in 1968 as the car will have to have been built early enough for the body to have come from the French Body Builders via rail and then built up as a complete car. After that it will then have still had to be shipped over to the UK, cleared from the docs, transported to the dealership and then prepared for sale.

I think the only way to clarify the situation for TOMCAT, whose VIN number is higher than mine is for him to contact Opel and ask for verification.
