Hello all,
Was just checking out a Hundred on Ebay and found that it's not what it would
seem at first. This car has the chassis number of an approx. Nov. '55 BN2, but
the body number tag is from a March '55 BN1.
Checking further, there is a good under frame shot clearly showing the torched
out lines of the original BN1 gearbox mounting and a cobbled mount for the 4
speed box's stay rod. Looking back at the number tags more closely, I believe
the batch/body tag to be original and undisturbed, while the obviously
replaced chassis number tag has the tell tale evidence of different
replacement screws. Hmmmm, I wonder what her BN1 number really is. Of course
it could be checked with BMIHT when needed.
This Hundred Registry data certainly is useful to identify things like this.
