Link to "angliacarauctions.co.uk" refer to here as estate though |

it's RHD, and all info reports mileage in miles not kms. My guess is a UK spec, perhaps originally sold in Channel Isles, Ireland, Isle of Man and then re-regd on 2009 arrival in UK. Or maybe always a UK car but initially had a cherished number, so given a new "old" number when first owner sold it. |

Sorry, my mistake, I thought I looked at this picture a million times thinking; "Is the wipers the wrong direction?" and "there seems to be a kid on the right hand side?"...![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Chassis number: 2 = Wagon (P220) 2 = 4- or 5-door (P120 or P220) 3 = B18B 1,8 litre with dual carbs (122 S or 123 GT) 3 = Special (the normal model) 4 = M40 4-speed gearbox with floor shiftet (121 or 122 S) 2 = RHD P = 1968 It has the new for 1968 steering wheel. I thought the wagon wasn't available as 122 S in the UK though? |

Is that a new IKEA furniture line?? |

It has an 122 S chassis number and engine so it definitely is an 122 S, not an 121. |

... which presumably means an import from somewhere RHD which used 122 S name?? Maybe add Malta, Cyprus ZA, AUS, NZ to the candidates list if they used the name. Just in practical terms, what's the difference between 121 vs 122 S estates?? |

There are a few minor differences but the main thing is dual carbs for the 122 S and a single one for the 121. Edit: This car has a MPH speedo, did all these countries use imperial at the time? -- Last edit: 2024-12-31 10:20:04 |

I do believe UK still use the MPH speedo for a while ![]() |
