Can anyone help me with this query please? I am looking at a 1957 bus with semaphores. I am being told that the bus only has one chassis plate (in the engine bay). I know the later busses I have been looking at have 2 plates (engine bay and behind the seats). Is there any semblance of truth in this or is it a case of get back out there looking?
Thanks
John

You should have a chassis number stamped on the bulkhead as well.

Quote from thesamba.com Technical pages - link above...
"Before October, 1958, there was no M-code plate but a body number was stamped behind the front seat. Although the body numbers are sequential, it is basically useless."

Re: Pre '58 busses
Yes but a true pre 58 bus should still have it nonetheless!
