One of the things which seem to confuse many, particularly newer owners, is that a car number and a chassis number are not the same thing. For example Chummy car number; AD 4*** will not be chassis number 4***, the exception being mid to late 30's cars when Longbridge changed the numbering system bringing the two line. It stands to reason that the works would enter a number into the ledger for a chassis supplied bare with the prefix CHAI, if so then Mark may have the 4,729th bare chassis supplied, I wonder how many chassis had been exported by 1927?
