That sounds about right. I have a couple of 1970 series one V8s in my records that end in G. The suffix letter denoted changes in production details, some of which were quite minor. I doubt the A suffix would have lasted a year.

The suffix was more than production detail on occasion. The automatic 4-cyl cars were suffix E for example. I have a better list somewhere but can't find it.
That's curious Vern. All the other models seem to start with an A suffix. The TCs were introduced in '66 with an A suffix, as were the V8s. But I can't find any mention of a 2000 auto with less than an E suffix either. I presume it paralleled the 2000SC suffix at that point.
Thanks for the info. I presumed that the suffix letters lasted longer or noted a change in models.
Thanks Colin for the site you posted.. really interesting.
I thought that my car and engine were from different eras but now not so sure. Could it be the original engine ? The bloke I bought it off thought it was an engine from a SD1 but it now doesn't seem that way .
Engine number 45106778 B
Chassis number 42507017 D
Is there any way of telling if the engine is original ?
45106778 is a P6 engine and 6778th from the batch.
As your car has a body number which is about 7000 of the batch I would say it is the original engine and if not is from a car built withing 200 of your own.
You can get a heritage certificate which will show your original numbers.
