1948-49 Alvis TA-14 Serial Numbers

I have learned a bit more about serial and frame numbers.  Do any of you have access to the factory information pertaining to the frame/serial number split between a 1948 and 1949 TA-14? Alan Posted by alsfarms 28/01/2013 01:15:19

The TA14/TB14 Register published by the AOC in 1996 gives details of this stuff, ie Chassis no.,Body type,Coachbuilder,Body no.,Reg no (UK) &amp;Despatch date. If you post your chassis no., with luck I should be able to give you some or all of the above details. Posted by Peter Martin 31/01/2013 09:42:40

Hello Peter, Thanks for taking the time to respond to my question on TA-14 numbers.  When I get home this afternoon, I will post the frame number from both of my TA-14's.  The DHC is the car I am building, the second is a donor Muliner sedan.  I am anxious to learn what I can about both vehicles.  I think the Muliner came to the US from Portugal.  The DHC has been in the US for a long time, per past owner.  Thanks again for your response.

Hello Peter, I was able to catch some daylight and see well enough to write down the frame numbers from both of my TA-14's.  The Mulliner Sedan is #20880 and my Carbodies DHC is 22369.  I hope you may be able to assist me with determining some history and pedigree for my cars.
