Production Data

[Matt_Harnden]

With the exception of the A7CA chassis register, can anyone advise if these is a list available of the original car numbers, chassis numbers and engine numbers for A7 vehicles that left the Austin production line?

[Austin Carr]

I don't know if the British Motor Museum archive make the list available but you can buy records of individual cars:-

Copied from a thread in the old forum HERE, they have surviving records from only a few production runs.

Sandy stated these as...

March –..June ‘29 - A8 series - c 77,535 – 87,433 
June –....Dec. ‘29 -- A9 series - 87,434 – 97,332 
April –....Oct. ‘30 - B1 series - 107,228 – 117,126 
Jan. –....June ‘31 - B3 series - 127,026 – 136,924

And information that you would get on a heritage certificate is as follows. Quoted from a post by Ruairidh.

• Make and Model
  
• Car and Chassis number
  
• Engine number
  
• Body number (if recorded)
  
• Specification
  
• Colour a. exterior b. trim c. hood (if applicable)
  
• Date of build
  
• Date of despatch (if recorded)
  
• Destination (dealer)
  
• Other numbers (car)
  
• Other info. (where number was issued etc.)
  
• Issued to (this will be you)
  
• Date of issue (of certificate)
  
• Signature of Archivist
  

Though some people have noted that in their cases some information has been missing.

If you have a general interest in looking at their archive material, they have a room for people to browse material. This is by appointment only, specifying the material you wish to look at in advance so they can have it ready for you. I believe they have photocopying facilities at cost, but do not know what the conditions of copying are.
