2339 - 56 mark 2

[maxy]

I have recently bought a 56 mark 2 and I need to decode the plate. Serial number is c56c2339. The next number is 14-1g6k-110-15. Then 2 60-a. Can someone direct me to a site where I can decode it? Thank you

If you're looking for parts or service information you won’t find any parts listed anywhere for a Mark 2, nor a MKII. That silly nomenclature didn't start until much later.

Use the search tool using the last 4 digits of your serial number for the information Pat has accumulated for your car.

The car is yellow and was owned by a music legend and was just wondering what I stumbled upon.

Typed it in and nothing was found. I think this is the first time it's ever been sold.

Thank you for the info Mark, but when I go to the link it says I don't have access to that page.

So the exterior was white when new John?

[maxy]

I have put a refundable deposit down and with no A/C and if it was originally white, I might pass on it. His asking price of 27 grand would be too high.

Color changes are very common for Mark IIs. They were a rich person's car. As fashions and decorations changed, so did the colors of most Mark IIs. I don't see where a color change affects value. However, the color you choose certainly makes a difference. There are very few cars that are worth more because they left a famous person's DNA on the seat.

Buying a Mark II truly is the best value.
