What can I say,I'm longwinded!
2 other options to avoid using carrier serial numbers that are possibly out there is to make up a serial number range that is out of the normal serial number range of production carriers or adding an extra number to the made up serial numbers. Thoughts?

Just a thought on the risk of duplicated serial numbers.

When Canadian Bank Notes are damaged in production, they are pulled and the bill in question is reissued before destruction. The original serial number on the bill is reused, but an '*' is added at the end of the serial number to indicate it is a reissue.

If someone has a vehicle with missing serial number, but an approximate production time can be reasonably determined, we could look at a known registration listing of vehicle serial numbers in that time frame and pick one not already registered. Then add an '*' to the end of it. If a matching original serial numbered vehicle later turns up, the two numbers will still be distinctive.

One could consider using the lower hull number in the event other applicable numbers no longer exist.

Default Good idea!

That would work for me as I can read my lower hull number. Good Idea!

Default Data Plates

I have just received my new Data Plates from Markus and they are great, the next problem is what colour should they have been.
Looking through all the photos I have found of them they all have been painted the same colour as the carrier but one or two of the photos where the paint has been rubbed off there seems to be an original black background.
Any ideas please.

Stephen

Default Possibility of re-producing Data Plate?

Hi Marcus,

I have a Canadian C11AS (Station Wagon) Woodie that is missing its Data Plate.

I attach a copy of a similar plate, that is identical other than the Model, would it be possible to reproduce it with the following information for my vehicle.

SERIAL 17628 5/9/41
MOTOR 2D – 7225 - F
MODEL C11AS

Kind Regards,

Ian
