[Healeys] BN1 152199

[BJ8 Healeys]

But, Keith, isn't a body number unique to a given chassis when it leaves the
factory?  Sure, and if a bonnet with the body number belonging to 152199 is
found installed on a car half way around the world, doesn't that make one
wonder how it got there?  Was it a mistake in recording the number on the
bonnet, perhaps?  Don't know, let's ask the owner of 152199 if he knows
anything about it.  Or we can ask him if the bonnet currently on his car has
that body number stamped on it, or another one, or none at all.  Different
conclusions can be drawn depending on the answer, and the answer can
sometimes help to correct errors and conflicts in the registry data.

Hi Guys
 Keith hear, Having read the emails back and too re my BN1 I concur with
what Chris has said re the account of my car, I have Chris's diary from
1986 when Chris first purchased the car, plus  all the documentation of the
car's history .
I am not an expert but my understanding that the numbers on the bonnet and
boot are body numbers not chassis numbers.
Regards Keith
