Ahh, that is the question isn't it. There has been talk on Fastlane about change over dates of 3/75, 9/75, 12/75 and 3/76.... which one is correct I have no Idea. All I can tell you is my 5/75 Contessa Gold HJ Sandman I bought in 83 had a 5 digit speedo in it because it had been clocked and was reading 1400klm when I got it.

Thanks

I believe HJ had a full length gutter (From back of door - to top of windscreen- to bottom of windscreen).
If so were these chrome as well as the windscreen moulds?

They are on all models and are painted body colour.

I've only ever seen them on HQ & HJ.

Going on many other changes in HJ. I would have thought that the change my have been for the 76 model. So end 9/75

no... they are on hq and hj only and then went to half gutters for hx hz and wb....they may have gone to the half gutters very late in hj as ive wrecked a few over the years that had them...ive never bothered to look at a book to decipher the part number change though..
