Hi Ian and Scott,
My "rare bird" #A12212 (Dec.68) also has an i.d. plate. Maybe the change occurred sometime between yours, Ian, and Scott's or mine? What your s.n. Scott? Cheers,

Charlie

Ian,

My Rare Bird Ambo has a number plate. Maybe one of the first bikes with a number plate then? better add 5000$ to mine. (Special half price sale for 15,000$!!).

Scott

Basically the bike was a V700 with bigger engine and different paint (now
available in black, red, white) and pinstriping. All the "A series" Ambos I
recorded have a serial number 12xxx. Did I mention that this series is the
most valuable of all the Loops :-) Charlie and I both agree that one of
these babies will cost you $25,000 :-) By the way...these bikes did not have
the VIN plate either and were produced late 1968-1969 (approx).

When they went to the full blown Ambo in 1970 they had a VIN plate, frame
and serial numbers matched and the serial numbers were from 13xxx - 26xxx.
This series ran 1970-1972 (approx)
