johnfromstaffs ◊ 2016-10-24 23:39	It depends how far you want to go. Coachbuilder is Vanden Plas, do you want to refer to the chassis rebuild? The car is is entered in the Bentley Driver's Club records as being chassis no. RE1400. -- Last edit: 2016-10-24 23:40:42
Baube ◊ 2016-10-25 00:39	yeah, i was referring to the chassis ( mostly ) . Unlike the regular vehicles, each one seems to have its own and vintage vehicles aren't exactly the category where i feel confident... even like here you gave me all the infos but i was almost sure that i did a mistake somewhere

The difference comes in that there is a separate chassis which usually had enough mechanical parts to allow it to be driven if you added a seat, and that the body could be constructed by others and could be removed from the chassis. Even where the car was supplied complete from the factory they tended to use the chassis as being the identifier of the whole car for purposes of registration documents. My 1953 Bentley has chassis number B373TO and body number 6259, but only the chassis number and the engine number appear in the car's registration book, known in U.K. as "log book".
