I have an 10/4 whose year I wish to confirm.
The numbers read G27777. Can anyone identify year of manufacture. Also I like to know any history of this car. ( engine number and first registration)
Thanks
Nikola

Chassis # G27777 will be late 1933. Engine # likely to be slightly higher number maybe about 1G28000-ish. Nuumber is on side of engine block. If you also have the "Car No" (body number) on a plate under the bonnet it will be GRA, if a saloon: about GRA1500-ish. Did it come with registration plates attached, or any documents? Your car might also be on the cusp between types of fuel gauge as the change of fuel gauge from Hobson to electric.

Interesting! That would explain why not on club database. Is it left hand drive?

What is procedure and requirements to get in data base.
The club vehicle database is derived from details provided by members since 1965. When members sell the car or leave the club the vehicle data can be retained under GDPR but without any personal data of past owners.
Not all members provide details of their cars and in some instances the data is wrong due to reading errors, transcription errors, or misunderstandings. Unfortunately many of these errors stem from incorrect data held on the UK vehicle registration system.
