Hi Steve, thanks for the response. Yours and Rich C.'s explanations
make a lot of sense. It does, however, bring into question which is
the last BN7 (or any model) built. We should be looking at build
dates and not serial numbers if the cars were produced out of
sequence. ????
Might be an interesting question for Bill Bolton to look into.
You are also right about the build cards. I have the original build
card for this BN7. The original owner of the car, who I bought it
from, kept it all these years along with all original paperwork/
stickers. There are no additional dates on the card. Interestingly
this Ivory White with Red Interior car went through the factory with
a BLUE hardtop per the build sheet. The Blue hardtop never made it to
the dealer in Chicago according to the original owner.
As I'm getting ready to restore it, I'm having some problems with the
original build card color combinations. :-) It does look great with
the black hardtop I have for it.
Thanks for the input.
Randy
