Can't you order a Heritage certificate from the BMIHT and get that information from their archives?

I just saw a car with EB73366 and 1096461 for the two little plates on the firewall.  The second number is 14.94508 X the EB number.



Piggott’s book shows EB66897 with 1071617, which is a multiple of 16.01891



My car is EB45177; I’m missing the second number.  Using the first multiple I get 675174.  I don’t need to be exact.

Using the second multiple I get 723686



BUT – Piggott (Original Triumph TR2/3/3A)  says shell numbers 1048572 to 1066000 relate to commission numbers from TS43101 to TS62327



My car is TS44871 LO so I should be on the low end of 1048572 to 1066000.



Anyone on the list care to contribute and tell me if I’m in the ballpark using the numbers on their car?  It obviously doesn’t really matter (I can use any number I want) but I’m curious.  Anyone have a TS number close to mine?



And – there was a guy reproducing those plates but he’s MIA.  Anyone know where I can get one OR anyone have one I can buy?
