What Colour Was I?

Post by Delboy »

My recent addition has the following label on the undertray, it's on a 'J' plate...

VFR400RIII
NH196
NH196K

Had a look but the number 196 seems quite common and appears to have several schemes?

The only way to tell is the frame number, undertrays are pretty easy to change over so you can't trust that way.

Haynes manual should give a break down of frame numbers.

89- 1000000
91- 1100000
Uk- 2100000

Or something like that.
