Hi

I have moved house and, unfortunately, my Century is now surplus to requirements.

Before I try and sell it, I would love to be able to say when it was made. How do I find this out please? - Its Serial Number is 12865366.

Thanks in advance

Gareth

  • 05****** 1988

  • 09****** 1992/1993
  • 10****** 1994/1995
  • 11****** 1996

  • 13****** 1998/1999
  • 14****** 2000
  • 15****** 2001
