How to date a Portafold/Ansfold
Posted: Mon, 09 Jul 2007, 6:02 pm
Hi all, just got back from the Morris Minor club national rally. We encountered fellow Portafolders Lawrie & Christine Newton from Southampton with their Minor-towed 1965 Porty. They told me the last 2 digits of the chassis number was the date of manufacture - simple, isn't it? Apparently they knew, or knew of, the bloke who originally designed it but he had dementia & couldn't remember much about the van. They couldn't remember his name - I'll ring them later this week to try & get that. They aren't on the internet but they are members of the Airstream club so maybe anyone who knows other Airstream members could ask them to corroborate?
If it's true that makes our Ansfold a 1978! Anyone know when production ceased? (I've only just got back so apologies if that info's in our History). When I've more time I'll blog how we got on - it was our first time out with ours!
