>I'm rather confused as they quote the first set of Mk III chassis numbers
as being from FD1 - FD15306. Does that mean that I've spent all that money
on a non-existent car as Baby Blue is FD16410?

That's really interesting. My sources also show no 16k range. Is it possible 
that some of the PO "reprinted" the original number introducing a "small" 
mistake (wouldn't be the first time).
