Whilst awaiting the arrival of certain parts on the current resto, ive been reading various Topics on A4 A5s. Which started me wondering what is mine.
When i took possession of mine there was no paperwork only the Nova registration. I was informed it was a 76 A4, and the headstock stated 08/76.
Engine number Z1E-133420
Frame number Z1F-512431
However reading various articles it could be an A5 due to the late month of the build in 76. This is Confused .com, i know theyre basically the same, but what would DVLA assigne it to when i get it registered

Re: A4 or A5
a5 frame numbers only exist up to Z1F-510340 & your frame number is beyond that
Re: A4 or A5
Thanksfor that Adrian, that makes interesting reading. If all A5 frame numbers range from 510341 -515578, that would make mine an A5 frame. I think! !!!!
