Old Gezzer Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) Hi, I have got a hold of what I believe to be a Late Model Sherpa Plastic Tank. Can anyone confirm this please?

lorenzo Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 Yes, late model Sherpa. You may find a date on the underside, at the rear. Here's a NOS one in my collection : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Gezzer Posted January 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hi, I think the "Herstellungsdatum" is the date the tank mold was made. There is a date under the rear of the tank as Lorenzo said and it is for 1980 which I would assume was the year of the tanks manufacture. I have just dropped the tank off with my painter so I will have to wait and see how it turns out. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
