Hey all,
Missing the body and batch plate on my 1958 BN6 but got the BMIHT certifcate so know the body number but not the batch number. If anyone has a BN6 or BN4 made around May 1958, let me know what it is so I can add to the body plate I am getting made. Realize it may not be completely correct with the way bodies were made at the Jensen works but a batch number from a BN4/BN6 made that Spring might be in right time frame. My body number is 464 and vin is BN6L964 and was made May 15 & 16 1958, ironically 53 years ago today !!!!
Thanks,
Mike

Mine was made on the 14th & 15th; OMG, I forgot my car's birthday!

Body number 437

I'll keep looking for the original picture...

Found them! Okay, I'm thinking a day later, good chance it's part of the same batch.

You didn't want no old BN4 batch # anyways!

Batch #4690
Body #437

Hey Randy,
You the man !!! Amazed at how close our two cars are in production date and car numbers ! Bodies for both probably shipped over from Jensen at same time !
THANKS,

Randy - do you have any more places on your #437 with the correct body #? thanks

The original hood latch recepticle has "437" stamped into it.

Replacement trunklid, so no number there.

Randy - do the 4 alum cockpit moulding pieces have the body # stamped on the inside as on the Longbridge BN4s?
thanks

I don't think so; I can never remember seeing them.

(C'mon, don't you think I'd have a picture...?)

Hello Randy,

For what it's worth, my 58 100-6 = BN4-L-0-56040, body (batch?)#4361 7818, serial 56053.
Haven't looked for the number tag refered-to above.
I've been told probably built in Jan 58.


Cheers
