Tim,

V700's had four digit serial numbers. "Transition" Ambo's had the letter
"A"
prefix a five digit serial number 12xxx. These first Ambos were really
V700's with 700 heads and body parts, shifter on the right side. True
Ambos
(I call them American Ambos) had serial number 13xxx and up.

Hope this helps...Ian

My Ambo I had was July 69 and a 750. I think the 750 started with the
13xxx serial numbers. According to Greg Fields book, the 13xxx was the
first series to get the bigger tank and the concentric carbs. Hope this
helps.

Looking at an early loopframe. Owner says it is an early 750cc, but it
is titled as a 1969, and does not say Ambassador. He thinks it might
have been a V7 with a 750cc upgrade. How can I be sure?

I think the carbs are different than my Eldo has as well. Any way to
find serial numbers/production runs?

Would any of you hesitate purchasing one this early in the production
cycle for durability reasons?

Opinions?
