300079 72 Is the HIN I’m looking at. This HIN is not from 79 because standards were well established by then for HINs and this one doesn’t follow that as you stated
So this HIN is from 1972 The first two digits are the model so this HIN is from a 30 So that leaves 0079. The 30 was job number 1970-14. So it was the 14th project started in late 1970 ( 18 jobs that year ) So moulds and prototype in 1971, starting production early 1972. By 1985 they had built 800…. So on average they built 61.5 a year. So would they have built 79 the first year ? Probably The oddity for me in this one was leaving four decimal places for the hill number. 0079. They had high expectations for this model :-) JKC www.ghcarchives.com Motion Designs Limited 647 990 7752 > On Sep 4, 2025, at 10:58 PM, Randy Stafford via CnC-List > <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > > I put a photo of my HIN plate at > https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uF8PxVUVnmEq1FK3NtuuI3AAhR1T8bJd/view?usp=share_link. > > The way the numbers are grouped, it looks like 3 000 79 72. > > Cheers, > Randy > > >> On Sep 4, 2025, at 8:50 PM, Randy Stafford via CnC-List >> <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: >> >> Thanks for that link JohnKelly. >> >> My HIN 30007972 predates the USCG standardization of November 1st 1972.
