Hi Ashlewis,

Welcome to the forum and thanks for telling us about your van.

Your van is indeed a Viscount. The serial number is A7605 which makes it a 1969 Viscount Duralvan.

Viscount did use 'R' as a serial number prefix from 1973 to 1977 to indicate the Royal model which superseded the Duralvan, and it is sometimes hard to distinguish between an 'A' and an 'R'. However the 1973 - 1978 serial numbers consisted of an 'R' followed by five digits, with the first digit indicating the year. Your serial number only has four numbers, so that confirms it's from the earlier 'A' series.

Sorry, can't help you with the weight. You probably need to take the van over a weighbridge. Hope the above helps though.
