[Alpines] VIN break for SV rear bumpers

[Jeff Howarth]

HI Marc,

The Sunbeam manufacturers term used is chassis number - stick with that, 
its factory original and is what it has said on the car for the last 50 
years.

Forget the benighted California, you can only be officially 'Knighted' 
at a big house here in England.

There are at least 3 factory original rear number (licence) plate lamp 
versions:

1 - Single Lucas glass dome mounted below the boot (trunk) lock.

2 - twin lights mounted on a plate using the same fixings.

3 - twin chrome dome lights mounted on the rear bumper.

Part numbers and Chassis number ranges are in the parts manual.


Jeff   :-)
