It is this lower plate which would have been originally painted body colour, & the EB plate (added after painting) was just brass. Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EB is the Mulliners number which was sprayed over by them after building, the other number was an S-T number put on after arrival at the factory and hence not sprayed.

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted October 22, 2023 Report Share Posted October 22, 2023 (edited) My understanding is The EB plate changed size as the number got bigger. EB number sequence was not a constant value away from the TS number. The factory build number plate remains the same size looking at the few I have. Who has number 1000000? Late 1959? Yes attached by screws not rivets. Edited October 22, 2023 by BlueTR3A-5EKT Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nobbysr Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 Interesting debate , I have done the usual web checks and it seems that the EB number was painted and at the topwith the other number below but there was a load with both numbers polished I found the attached judging guide from the US which has a section on the engine bay and they refer to the EB number as painted and above the chassis number which is left brass hopefully the PDF will send ok cheers Steve TRAJudgingGuide (2).pdf Quote Link to post Share on other sites
