[Healeys] VIN plate

[Rich C]

Actually there were 3 different plates and or locations for the basic number 
plate within the production of the BN1.

First was the ivory coloured plastic plate we've recently been speaking 
about that was fastened to the left side interior kick panel. This lasted 
until the end of the non-unified numbering system, late August 1954.

Second was the familiar oval aluminum plate held with 2 screws that was 
first mounted in the same position as the previous, again on the left side 
interior kick panel.

Third was the indentical plate, but finally moved out onto the engine bay 
side of the bulkhead area, just inboard of the fresh air duct aperture.

The first two scenarios result in the plates very often missing from those 
earlier cars, having usually been lost when the interior panel deteriorated 
and was removed.
