What Kit number are you? - the complete(ish) list

17 Sep 2011, 8:16am
This started as an aside in another thread where is was pointed out that a lot of us put numbers on the side of our cars and it would be interesting to know what number kit we were so that we could put that on the side if we didn't have our own favourite/special number to use.

If you know your number can you add a comment and I'll try and maintain this original post to keep it up to date.

I collected mine on Wednesday 13th July and driv it back to Norfolk (driv is a local word, not a typo btw).

It's somewhere around number 50 but I'm not sure. I'd certainly be interested in the whole sequential numbers on the side thing.

Over to you Gary... :playball:
17 Sep 2011, 1:49pm
Hi, Gary worked mine out to be number 7 which I picked up the begning of December 2010 he and Mike have been a busy boy's with numbers increasing better stick a cuople of digits infront of mine "007" Mr Bond naaa I'll stick with Skippy (skip diver special) yellow with BRG viper stripe aussie colours feeling a bit fitter now so I'm going out in the garage again hopefully to get MOT'd soon then it's paint time after xmas just gotta bleed the brakes, Pat
17 Sep 2011, 6:41pm

"I am not a number"

My interpretation of Garyh's request , was can he order number 67 when we get there ....number 60 is going out tomorrow , 61 is going to a guy called Nick , 62 probably the MX5 widened one ....63 can't remember without looking !....etc etc until we get to 67 in a few weeks time......
18 Sep 2011, 3:19pm
Didn't see this message, GaryJ

I will pay tonight. Just got car from Triumph Nuts, is RUST structural... Can't see why anyone would want to buy any of the bodywork? But i will try.:der:
23 Sep 2011, 11:13am

NUMBER 3 I THINK....

Car 66 was number 4


I'd really like to know where car number 1 is ....very basic example built totally differently to the others as a prototype...

Build Numbers

Hi
No idea what my number is but it was delivered on August 16th, and is the twin hump version which should help identify it? I'm in Hertfordshire.
