Have we got to the Rolt Batch, the Roach batch & the Yates batch yet?
well, it does seem it's the chassis which easiest alerts to some 'continuity' and that a body existed there. But with Nippies and EA, there are equally numbered bodies which are now on unoriginal chassis but their body can at least contribute more information - particularly if it's a very late number which might extend the range.
re. the latter, some original cars are now going to have new bodies and nothing wrong with that - that's life. The post on GW 82 was really trying to find out more about that.... i.e. in early days what could have happened and after being crashed in the 60s. Its not 'bad' or 'good', just extremely interesting, especially where it is verifiable through (your!) photos. But the Rolt/Roach/Yates batch question is a bit meaningless, isn't it?
One thought - virtually nobody is commenting on what's put up on that site! I find that very odd as it's all there to be questioned. Same with the orange car. It seems on balance that it could be an original chassis which is why I put it up there with the photos which were available at the time for people to interrogate further. Would be nice if the comments on axle made here, for instance, could be added there.
