Ahh gotcha, I should have paid more attention, sorry Kevin thought we were discussing the piccie....the number on mine is actually not the correct F number, the numbers that I ran according to the stats for HSC's, mine should be F199036 (which someone else has on their HSC, because it was a license plate/registration number they had for theirs)
1. From what I've found the serial numbers work like this: Chassis numbers and ‘F’ numbers appear to be linked. Chassis numbers started out at 8530000, The last four digits are the vehicle build number. So our HSC would be vehicle 1039. (Chassis number 8531039) this is added to the base ‘F’ Number of F195100. (this was the prototype vehicle from 42) This therefore gives an ‘F’ number of F196139. This appears to apply to the first contract and is verified by Bovington records. Second contract vehicles I am not sure of yet. they have F numbers in a block of 25's.
My chassis number is 8533936, so my vehicle is build number 3936 with the base F number of F195100 + 3936 =F199036.
