Hi All.
just to add more to the Crayford saga I now own another!
As I believe I've mentioned earlier I am in possession of copies of the factory (Crayford) invoices, unfortunately they don't all have chassis numbers--things were a lot easier back then, no computers etc.
My new acquisition is the 7th done, according to the dates on the invoices. however in a terrible state, I am currently on the lookout for a suitable shell to rob bits off to restore this car.
cheers
Ian

vins from my records of aus 914 register (dating from the late 90s)

vin 4732901686




vin 4732909340




have some crayfords documentation of the saturn yellow metallic car that i got copies of back in the 90s.

both cars were ordered from UK addresses.
won't be any documentation indicating australian orders in crayford invoicing files.
back then is australians would do a stint working in the UK professionally for a year or two. order their car and be in possession of it for at certain time period. qualified them to return to australia with it as a private import and avoid punitive import tax charges. this was also how a good number of australian 911 owners would buy their new 911 back then. (same laws were still in operation when i bought my 914 while i was living in chicago in the late 80s - i bought mine back to aus the same way from the USA).

i believe the last crayfords car done, #11 is the yellow 75 that ended up in singapore or malaysia and has now gone back to UK. that one might have an australian address invoice as there was a hitch getting that car back into aus and on the roads.
it was subject to the just introduced ADR regulations of 1974.

there should be an order for a 914 to hong kong amongst crayfords invoices.

and i believe there was one more that went to south east asia somewhere.
