Well, Bob, my '53 Alpine came with four scuttle plates. The large one with
the chassis number and body number (1316) along with the lube data. The
brass "EF" plate and a "Anti Roll Bar" patent number plate. The fourth is
embossed "B.L.S.P. Ltd. Body No" and then stamped "STA1316". This indicates
that British Light Steel Pressings did do the Alpine bodies. Or, maybe they
just stamped out the metal and then passed that along for further work.
My main curiosity is with the "EF" plate and its significance, if any.
Let me take this opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy
Boxing Day.
"Ole"
