Quite a long time since this thread has seen an update, but chassis #047's VIN is now confirmed thanks to Roger.
It's worth noting again that while #047 was the first F1 completed in 1996, it turns out that the VIN actually had an 'S' in the 8th to last position and not the 'T' I had assumed, making it a 1995 model year car. This makes sense with the long lead time to assemble the F1 chassis, the VINs must have been assigned at the start of that process. It's also a reminder that the 'assumed' VINs in the lists of
post #28 should all be considered suspect.
If anyone has any additional road car VINs they are able to supply a reference to, that would be wonderful!
