Thanks Baz. I know its going to sound like a silly question, but with the se9 register you have would it be possible to find out what number of the 308 it is?

well basically there were 52 autos made and 252 manuals but unfortunately there was no way of finding out whether yours was number 1 or number 308 .

I still have more to post up as theres some cropping etc and time but eventually they will be up

do you have the VIN Numbers baz? I know the list I have from Vauxhall for the Se2's are sequential ...or you could always ask Vauxhall for a vin list of the production of SE9's


Oh and welcome Rob
