Showing items 1 - 4 of 4 results.
That serial number is most likely from 1998 possible even late 1997.

Replacement data plate stickers where pretty cheap from BT when I last ordered some a couple of years back.

BT system I have access to doesnt give year of machine manufacturer but the system that parts & tech service has access to does.

Year of manufacturer should be on the data plate stuck on the back part of the cab above the drivers seat.

Also check the grey mast information sticker stuck on the side of the mast as the date might also be on there, I know the mast date is on the newer Reflex, cant remember if its also on the older ones.

There should be a warranty sticker on the truck somewhere ( maybe inside ) with the cutoff date when the warranty ran out, it will be a year before that date.

Going by the serial number I would reckon between 1998 & 2000 as a rough guess, sorry I cant help any more then that.

Fact of the week
The origin of "love" as the score zero in tennis is debated, but two main theories prevail. One suggests it's derived from the French word "l'oeuf" (egg) which resembles the shape of the number zero. The other proposes it's related to the Dutch word "lof" meaning "honour" as players might be playing for honour when scoreless.
