You've come to the right place!

And if you could please post any data plate details of your C8AX collection that would be very welcome too.

Yes please, Mark. This is the thread where we are trying to fill some holes in the list of survivors. Even if your data plate is missing on any of your PJ's, an engine No will do, and some time in the future we may be able to place it in order.

I have 1 chassis nearly restored in my garage, but can't find a number on the chassis anywhere...any ideas?

Another one I have is "old rusty" a PJ that used to take families on beach rides at Brighton I understand. As you can imagine, the body is not in the best of health, but it is still intact (less the deck) and may be restored or donate parts someday. The chassis number on the brass makers plate on the dash is XH8448-332, dated 5/4/43, with an order number of 2394.

That leaves 2 more to identify. If anyone knows where to look on the chassis for the number, I would be very interested.

Kind regards,

Mark Cameron

Hi Mark

I've had PJs since the early 80's. As far as I know, the data plate on the dash is the only place where the build number (chassis number) is recorded.

Waiouru museum has a database printout of NZ fleet numbers, but that does not include chassis or engine numbers.

My dad restored one of these "back in the day", well 1980s, and subsequently sold it to another forum member, Dave Hardway. Are you in the NZMVCC? Fire any questions you have at us and we'll see if we can help!
