Does anyone know how I can accurately determine the Body ID number for TC
7840 XPAG 8441 built 7 Feb 1949?

Hi Rod
I understand your plate is missing from the body, the plate is located
on the wood between the fire wall and the tub, left side. Also part of
the body number in on the original (wood) left sill, top side, about in
the middle. The sill plate covers it and also part of the sheet metal.
This is the last part of the body number, Mike Marjot along with myself
have collected as many of the body number as we can over the past few
years. Mike can probably tell you with in a couple of numbers what the
first part of the number is, but up to this time we can not determine
what the last part of the numbers. Please confirm that you plate is
missing.
Cheers Dean

High Rod,
I can predict your body number in part, even though my database is quite
sparse at this point in the chassis sequence.
The prefix will be 7612 (99 per cent certain) followed by 'A' then 37 (batch
number, 95 per cent certain) then a sequence number very probably between 850
and 999 (the item within the batch). The 37nnn (suffix) is the Morris Bodies
Branch number, to which MG at Abingdon attached a prefix, in this case almost
certainly 7612.
Thus the whole number will be between 7612 A 37850 and 7612 A 37999.
If you want to create a notional number for your body plate any number in the
range would do, so long as you indicate it is notional and not actual!
Mike
