Production numbers

[DerekAJS30]

Is there a reference to see how many G11 and model 30 variants were made, and even where they were sold ?

I guess they weren't big numbers?

I cant see anything in the archive.

This question has cropped up from time to time about particular model ranges but I don't recall any definitive conclusions.
The club holds almost complete factory despatch records with frame numbers of (post-war) road machines (and I believe in some cases the dealers to whom they were shipped) but it would be a mammoth task to extract the data and present it in year/marque/model format.

Bacon's restoration book gives model and frame numbers for some years from which one can deduce production numbers.
I haven't my copy of Bacon to hand but here's an old pic from my photos album which gives you an idea of what's in it.

Thanks Spriddler. I have ordered the Bacon book today. I'm half way through the restoration but heh, it looks like a book I should own !

In what formats do the club hold the factory records?
There is a quick checker on the club website that gives some basic information for a given frame number, so I imagine the records must be held in a digital form allowing data extraction to some degree?

Yes, we have a database with the dating information, I'm in conversation with the Dating officer to see if we can produce statistics

Good point JB. I hadn't considered that.

Apart from being an excellent source of information it's a good read (for nerds like me).
