I can't find a bumper!
Poor Calum (Red Three) had an original low number but new chassis is 1001. He has plenty of stickers already with dead Snoopys all down the side of his Red Baron!

How about we commission bumper badges for the first 1000 with the production number of each 3W on? While this would be nice to have, there are a couple things working against this being feasible. First, you would be ordering a one-off badge for each person, as the number would have to change. So, each badge would cost at least $150-$200. Then, most places require that you place an order of at least 35 units. So, you would be tasked with recruiting interested parties, pre-selling the badges to these people, verifying their actual build number, getting the artwork created for each and then shipping them all out. EDIT: I would offer to design something though if there was enough interest from others to fill the required rolls needed to get this project carried out.

Engraving would probably be the economical way to go. I can contact the guy who made our recent club badges and get his take on this and possibly a quote.

When MG did this for the BGT Jubilee dash plaques (which were optional) the badge was completed with a space for the number, which was added by the dealer.
In this case the Morgan factory could easily do this - is the production number the chassis number, and did they start at #1?
MG originally started chassis numbers with 101, then later 0251, with prototypes starting from the same point and working backwards.
The MG factory phone number at the time was Abingdon 251.

On the M3W, build order number, chassis number and body/frame number all differ from each other within the same vehicle.
