The story I heard--I think Bill Meade told me this--was that the counterfeiter 
bought BMIHT certs for a range of ID numbers, then used the ones that came with 
the 'louvred bonnet' comment to build the counterfeits. I believe a fairly high 
percentage of the later BN2s were 100Ms. 

The one David had might have been one the legitimate IDs that came up in the 
range of numbers.

The cars that were restored by the guy in the LA area back in the 
late 80s were caught when they all tried to register their cars with 
the 100M registery. I had one of the three cars here that turned out 
to be the one original car. All the numbers checked out to be the 
correct ones on the Heritage certificate. We check every numeber 
there was to check. Key, Engine, Body, Transmission. 

The other 2 cars that had the same VIN number went to Austrailia and 
New Zealand. These two were sold as a 100M but when this all went 
down they turned out to be counterfits of the original car.
