I'm sure there has been a couple of '75 plated hatches shown on here before, they were very low numbered.

In answer to the original question, ALX004880M would almost certainly be a 03/76 compliance date.

I have a 01/76 SS Hatch and from information I have read on this forum my chassis number is lower than 1 or more with built date 12/75. If that's the case it could only be the chassis number that provides the information this thread is seeking.

12/75 261 belongs to a friend of mine still on road driving around.

Mine is 2/76 2552 so would think 4880 would be 4th mont 76
