Production Data - Matt_Harnden - 11-08-2017
With the exception of the A7CA chassis register, can anyone advise if these is a list available of the original car numbers, chassis numbers and engine numbers for A7 vehicles that left the Austin production line?

I don't know if the British Motor Museum archive make the list available but you can buy records of individual cars:-

Copied from a thread in the old forum HERE, they have surviving records from only a few production runs.
Sandy stated these as...
March –..June ‘29 - A8 series - c 77,535 – 87,433
June –....Dec. ‘29 -- A9 series - 87,434 – 97,332
April –....Oct. ‘30 - B1 series - 107,228 – 117,126
Jan. –....June ‘31 - B3 series - 127,026 – 136,924
And information that you would get on a heritage certificate is as follows. Quoted from a post by Ruairidh.
- Make and Model
- Car and Chassis number
- Engine number
- Body number (if recorded)
- Specification
- Colour a. exterior b. trim c. hood (if applicable)
- Date of build
- Date of despatch (if recorded)
- Destination (dealer)
- Other numbers (car)
- Other info. (where number was issued etc.)
- Issued to (this will be you)
- Date of issue (of certificate)
- Signature of Archivist
If you have a general interest in looking at their archive material, they have a room for people to browse material. This is by appointment only, specifying the material you wish to look at in advance so they can have it ready for you. I believe they have photocopying facilities at cost, but do not know what the conditions of copying are.
