I am trying to figure out exactly what year dexta I have. The numbers are hard to read, but I believe they are as follows:
On the right hand side of the transmission are the numbers:
957E 7005 C
T4
3L14 /
On the left hand side of the flange where the transmission meets the engine, going vertically, are the numbers:
09C930258
On the cylinder head is the word: mon0cyl, the middle o is elongated. The head has the number 371I6140 0.
And finally, on the left hand side of the block are the numbers:
37111310.
What information can be gleaned from these numbers?
Thanks,
Terry

Terry,
The 957E number is a casting number and is the same on every Dexta built. As is the T4.
3L14 = 1963, October 14th. Casting numbers can vary. My new Dexta has a gearbox casting in August 1960 and rear axle codes of December
09C930258 puts her in the month of November 1963 as her final assembly.
My information does not cover engine numbers.
Monocyl is the name of the company who cast the head. All the casting work on the engine were done by Ford not Perkins but it seems they may have contracted some of the work out.
