date my car

[Mike Costigan]

I wonder from where those numbers came? I'm pretty sure there were no more than 30 cars built in 1922, possibly not even that many (and certainly not 178, since chassis A1-101 dates from March 1923). The official total by the end of October 1923 was 1,936 (possibly including those 30 or so in 1922), 4,700 from November 1923 to December 1924 and 7,043 in 1925 calendar year. That makes a total of 13,679 to the end of 1925. 

But from the 'changes' records, 12328 dates from September 1925, and 16666 from February 1926, so I would agree that chassis number 14139 dates from late 1925, probably around mid-November. So that suggests the official records may be wrong, and these Australian figures nearer the truth ...
