Hi
The register shows 3x 400 FARs, 4x 401 FARs and 1x 403P in existence whether there is/was another Farina proposal I don't know.
What was it that you have heard?

Hi there.

I was just flicking through Chris Balfours' book and came across an old ad for said car but I cannot find any pictures of it in the metal.

Hi
If you are refering to the ad on p110
There are photos of TMX544 on the BOC site in the members area.
Looks very much as if it is one of the type advertised, so it looks as if there were at least 4, Chassis Nos 202, 208, 210, 216.
There are also 4 missing chassis Nos 203, 213, 214, 215 from that area of the list, so who knows what they were.

Hello, as well as 401's with Farina bodies you listed , the Aldington's
/BAC earlier commissioned at least three 400 chassis 101, 102 in late
1946/early 1947 & chassis 181 possibly a little later , there could have
also been more.
