By 1937 the Car Number was the same as chassis number but with a three letter prefix denoting the body style; 10877 will be the 10,877th Mk2 Ruby body. The chassis preceding yours could have been another Ruby, in which case the body number would probably have been 10,876, but equally it could have been a Pearl, Opal or ORT in which case the Car Number would be the preceding chassis number but with a different set of prefix letters, and the body number would be in a completely different sequence.
