An example of a very rare Ambassadeur 2500C produced in Dec 1982, the last classic Stamped Model ever created. This was also the beginning when Ambassadeur 2500C was produced in limited quantity based on orders predominantly for her Japan customers.A typical QA decal used to ensure quality before it was sent to Japan. What was unique is the type of QA decal used which was very different from those used in the later years.
Another was the additional handle fixed on the Ambassadeur 2500C which was a standard feature demanded from her Japan customers. The number of accessories included the ebisu bag, casting weight, Abu Ambassadeur User Card and other standards in addition to the original handle.Dec 1982, Nil Revision: What remains as a mystery is the reason why ABU reverted the revision number from 1 back to 0. While there was a revision of the anti-reverse dog and counter balance handle, this hardly justify for the major shift in reverting the revision number as major change was still observed between July 1980 to December 1982.
It was also interesting to see the first of an additional stamp of initials for her japan customer. Such feature was increasingly common for all Small Ambassadeurs exported or produced for the japan customers.The last Classic Ambassadeur 2500C schematic printed and was never changed even though parts like her Sideplate do.
