Coachbuilt Chassis Numbers


I have been corresponding with Jim Blacklock (A7CA Registrar) and Phil Baildon about the unusual Chassis Number which is in the old buff logbook that I'm using for my Cup Special. The number is CHA1-8191 and the logbook originally belonged to a Mulliner bodied car. Looking through the A7CA Registers and talking to various people has revealed 10 of these numbers:











ChassisCar No.CarDate

53723CHA1-8531GE Cup23/8/28
55342CHA1-9273Mulliner23/3/28

The 'Car No.' isn't a true Car No. as issued by the Works, but it's a convenient place to put the CHA1 number.

Can anyone add to this list?

P.S. Thanks to Ilke for formatting the table, but we can't work out why there's such a large gap above it...
