No there is no plate on this chassis.
In reply to Tony as the 'quote' box does not seem to work .....
That is an interesting thought. Rolling chassis went to Mulliners for bodies with various parts stacked on top off a standard floorpan, parts like bulkhead pressings, wings, bonnet, etc. etc. Except that the Mulliner sports did not use standard Austin wings, bonnet or dashboard....so were these chassis were marked 'SP' at Longbridge as they were sent to Mulliners without these parts?..... the marking would tell the chaps on the factory floor what to stack on the floorpans... sports had their floorpans narrowed by way, presumably once at Mulliners.... the one I have inspected closely had this done very crudely !
