Tommy,

Your 405 chassis 4001 was the first production 405 and BAC Demonstrator car .
Its first registered number was "THU405" , then later changed to "AEL1" and the last known number "189JGF".
It's original engine number was 100B2/4002 and in the 50's changed to 100B2/4280 (The ID plate was changed at that time)
Attached are a few photos of your car before the conversion to a Drophead .
Best of luck with the restoration , luckily most of the body work has been completed.

Geoff
