Whilst doing some tidying up jobs inside our Ruby I noticed the body number stamping on the transmission tunnel. Strangely it doesn't match the Car Number rivetted to the bulkhead, not only that but "10877" is miles out for a '37 mk2 Ruby
We know its history back to 1952 (when it was shockingly rusty) so if any changes were made they must have been very early on in its life. All other numbers are logical for its age - block, crankcase, chassis, Car Number, log book etc.
Anyone any thoughts on what this number relates to if not the car number and whether it should be prefixed with ARR? I'm not concerned, just curious!
