A= Manx (probably after Bruce left the company). First digit '0' = indicates the fiscal year (?) Next 3 digits '149' = coded production number Letter 'G' = month of production (ie July) Next # '0' = last digit of calendar year (ie 1970) Nex two no.s and letter = gelcoat color, 13F = metalflake purple.
