Just providing an update on how I see things at the moment as there are a few corrections:-
All my information has come from the internet over a 15 year period and has been crossed referenced with other media in the public domain.
My updated take on things...
CHPP014 Preproduction 14, (on the stand at the London motorfair, silver) the Zante.
CHPP015 Preproduction 15, (on the floor at the London motorfair, silver)
SCC100ZT1LHD16100 is I.B.1. Silver (Fitted with the doors marked London motor show)
SCC100ZT1LHD16101 is I.B.2. Silver ( N/A, the 5th disney car, now a yellow race car in the US, Dave S's)
SCC100ZT1LHD16102 is I.B.3. (my silver N/A, VIN Number marked as a Turbo)
SCC100ZN1LHD16103 is I.B.4. ( Andy P's red turbo, VIN Number marked as a N/A)
SCC100ZT1LHD16104 is I.B.5. (Benmacs old silver car)
Registrations known to still exist to this day.
CHPP014 Preproduction 14, F644DNG
CHPP015 Preproduction 15, G951NNG
I.B.1 G887CLD
I.B.2 US (was G935LVG when in the UK).
I.B.3 G379GEX
I.B.4 G387JEX
I.B.5 G394KEX
Where I'm going next with my research :-
I.B.6 G389GEX , Rome durability test car, not taxed since the early 90's, in theory the VIN should be 6105
I.B.7 not know to me, in theory the VIN should be 6106
I.B.8 not known to me, in theory the VIN should be 6107
I.B.9 not known to me, in theory the VIN should be 6108
There are two additional cars that I am aware of which have some importance, but are not in the public domain, thus I can not comment.

Rambo wrote:Strange that it's closed loopDo you think this might have been fitted some time after the car left Hethel ? I take it this car is a pre-production model ?
Rambo wrote:It's a very interesting story Dave and you are obviously the LEC guru on the early years of the M100.
Incidentally, how many mules do you have in your stable these days ?
