You could run a simple excel spread sheet to issue the chassis numbers and that would give any analysis you want in seconds. Are we in 2017 or what? Agreed. A simple list of all the production, a pivot table, and Bob's your uncle. I wonder if maybe they simply lack the necessary IT skills to extract the data from wherever it is and reformat it?

My mother in law worked for the Scotsman; my sister in law is a journalist. Both have stories about lazy fact finding but my m.i.l says that they would have got the sack at the Scotsman.
We all can think of road tests which suggest that very little driving appeared to have been done

Motor Sport is the only car magazine I ever had a subscription to and the reason being that it is the only one that is properly researched and written. I stopped it about 15 years ago when F1 got diluted IMHO.
Good to hear the Scotsman holding up the standards.

Motor Sport still has a very well written insight into what's really going on in F1.

I remain confused, now we have another figure (107) for the number of Aeromaxs built.
So Morgan *said* they'd build 100 & as Shooter suggests, by the time they've built prototypes, crash tested a car or two, and replaced a few less-deliberately crashed cars, you have 107 So where did 117 come from? Maybe the journo asked Charles Morgan, who in his passion for the product is *always* accurate, and *never* exaggerates.    Will Aha, but whether 107 or 117 have you allowed for the odd chassis number being skipped, which I believe does/did occur.

I've now read the article and it's just a bit too skimmy.
A more comprehensive review on fewer cars would have been a more interesting read.

Interesting thought Dave. I have yet to read a post which thinks it was a good article!
