Unfortunately the left-hand side of the ticket is missing, but it has Farbe 8252 (which is turquoise metallic with alabaster interior); LD is 'EN'; BD is '1'; LFD. NR. is '521'; WOCHE is '41'; TAG is '3' (= Weds Oct 6th in 1971); KENN-NR. is '413 3697' (the code on the stamped body plate); '312 236' (= RHD Fastback FI); (boxes 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 are on the missing part); 9.4 is '=D-1'; 9.5 is '102 236' (= M-numbers for HRW and FI); 9.6 is 'RL'. Then the '31150' in red giving the last 5 digits of the chassis number. If anyone (German speaking?) has ideas to toss in for what the other abbreviations mean, that would be nice:- LD, BD, LFD. NR., or 9.4 and 9.6. Sorry to mislead you Jim, but I guess we can breathe a sigh of relief over how much less organised they must have been! Dave.
