Dating body numbers

Hi all,
Does anyone have any information on how to date the body number of an MM? I’m interested to see how the body number dates in relationship to the registration date.
I have done a few searches but haven’t found much out.
Thanks
Tommy

If you purchase a heritage certificate from the motor museum at Gaydon, then that will tell you the build date and despatch date plus a host of other interesting information.

Thanks John
I’ve looked at that info before, it’s a fantastic site full of info. I’ve never seen a list of body numbers with the dates they were coming through the factory though. I wonder if such a thing even exists.
I suppose a heritage certificate is the way forward really as that will give me what I want, although it will have to wait as £45 is better spent on the car at the moment!
