Chassis Numbers

Many of the specifications pages refer to Chassis Numbers for certain elements of the information. As a result I have felt it necessary to include a page to help decipher the Chassis Number of your car. In many cases, this will also allow you to identify the original engine and bodystyle that the car carried.

Thanks must go to Larry Rice, who compiled the original RM spec data, and Martin Frankford, who did the same for the BMC data. I have also used a number of books to assemble and improve the amount of information I have provided, all of which should be listed in the Bibliography.
