[Spridgets] numbers on the doors of our Spridgets question.....

[David Woerpel]

Hi List,

Linda brings up some good points for us A.R. people who relish the 
historical aspect of our cars.

I purchased 17606 in Sept. of 1976 and started getting interested in the 
history of my "new" toy.  I found out about the BMIHT, then called, BL 
Heritage Trust, and wrote to Anders in 1984.  The following is the part 
of the information I received that pertains to this thread.  (this came 
as a letter as the certificates were not yet given)

As you can see there are some blanks which I would love to fill.  
Apparently the number on the damper plate is located under the damper so 
I will wait to find that number.  Anders was unable to shed any light on 
the meaning of the numbers (1) on the shock plate, (2) on the body under 
the main harness(17547), and (3) on the plate inside the left (near) 
side door pillar.  This was as of 1992 when I wrote him on another 
matter.  If anyone has any info I'd like to hear it.  Any info that 
comes in I'd be grateful if someone would "store" it for me as I'm 
leaving 2/20 and won't "enable" the list until 3/2.  I'll "disable" you 
all the morning of 2/20.  Now there is a straight line for you!

Many thanks and don't get into any fights while I'm gone.

Dave W.
