I have a record of an A7 woody built 19 July 61, chassis number 140000 ish.
My A7 woody was built 5 August 61, chassis no 141000 ish, FE number 193000 ish.

Has yours got an FE number over the radiator shroud ?

I believe my Traveller was built in late 61. Can you experts get a closer date for a VIN around 161,000. I need to get a Heritage Certificate. Sorry about high jacking your thread, Rick!

I have one with 146290. It was built 24 August 1961. Dispatched 29 1961 to Toronto Canada. I was able to send British Motor trust pictures and the body number(I did not have the ID plate or know the number) and they were able to trace.
Hope this helps
