BN7 Batch Number

[stevebn2bj7]

BN7 owners I need a little help. I am rebuilding a 1960 BN7 that was in a fire and the body number tag was melted. I will get the body number from the BMIHT but that will not have the batch number. The car is a 1960 and the number is 9471 so if anyone has a BN7 near that number I would greatly appreciate the help.

Thanks,
Steve

Those numbers don't run consecutive; the story I've always gone by (must've read it in a book at some time) is that Jensen assigned a number as they built/trimmed the body and loaded them into a truck. then the VIN was assigned at Abingdon in the reverse order as they were off loaded.

Good luck though, you might just get lucky!

I dug up an old thread that I had posted my body numbers in, perhaps it will give you a little more insight to what you're looking for. Scroll down to about posts 9 through 12.

Randy,
Thanks for the info. Your batch number is 4690. I believe that the BN7's only had two maybe three batch numbers for the whole run.. Hopefully someone out there has a 1960 with a serial number close to mine that will provide the batch number.
