Those of you with access to biuld records...
Discussion
I wasn't aware that there were multiple sources of build records. I was only aware that David Geralds holds the originals. They offered to supply a copy of my cars build sheet without me asking.
Mine states the colour, what options the car came with, the engine number, the original owner and which sales operation the car was sold through. there is another number, but I don't know what it is because the hole punch went through the heading! I think its the paint code (maybe?).

I believe that DG have copies, the TVRCC have (or at least did have) the originals from the factory.
Richard Sails should be the one to contact initially.
Not so sure of that, Colin. Someone would have done a lot of work. The cards are not all uniform in the writing, etc. I believe it was part of the deal with the factory at the time they were appointed official supplies of spares.Richard Sails should be the one to contact initially.
Adios!

The TVRCC do have build records. As I understand it someone did do a lot of work and scanned them all with the permission of Peter Wheeler.Adios!

Well, I'm sure, as it was me who rescued them from the factory when they were having a clear-out in the 1990s and my intervention prevented them from receiving the ' Arthur Brown' treatment. I then gave them to Mervyn, who was club model registrar at the time.There was lots of other stuff as well (8 boxes of Speed Eight brochures, for example) but I never had room for much else in the car.

Its not that simple, the club has a pretty good database of all the cars up to and including the wedges, we have some paper records as do David Geralds.
We use the information to help both club members and non-club members with things like DVLA registration problems and individual questions about their own cars etc. We try to discourage the production of 'air' cars, duplicate cars etc and so do not publish the complete information in the form of lists as in the long term that would harm our ability to help with DVLA and other similar problems.
