[Healeys] 100/4 Rear Cockpit Trim

[Rich C]

Robert,

I record the Body number and Batch number of each car if possible, of course 
along with the Chassis and Engine numbers. The four cockpit rails each have 
the Body number stamped on the inside surface that rests against the inside 
of the door edge. This Body number also appears on the left edge of the 
bonnet, the boot lid support ear, and the front edge of the front splash 
shield, tucked in behind the front bumper.
Sometimes these pieces are saved from a car that's been parted out, and 
sometimes folks that are unaware of these stamped numbers end up fitting 
them to another project car. Once in a while we're able to reunite these 
items with the car they originally came from. It's rare but it's happened 
twice since I took on the Hundred Registry. One of the nice little perks of 
the job.
