Not that simple; from the research I've done, the very early 700cc in '67 and the beginning of '68 had a completely outlined 'V7' only, not 'V700'. Later in '68 they added '700cc' under the 7 in smaller solid letters. Then in '69 they changed it to 'V750' with an outlined 'V' and solid '750', with the 7 being larger than the 50, and added the word 'Ambassador' in upper and lower case solid letters above it. I have these because I restored a '69 and couldn't find them anywhere. All of the above went on the non-louvered sidecovers. |
I'd agree if folks were doing concours restorations. Most of the folks
here redo all sorts of stuff that make it less that original and only an
expert would know the difference.
That said, my original '67 V700 sidecovers do indeed have the CC after the
700. Somehow I'd never noticed that before. In my foolish youth I
painted over the grey sidecovers but I'm almost positive the letters were
solid, not outlined like the later white side covers. My memory could be
fading though.
