Thanks for reminding me about the letter for the year. I thought it was
the month.
I never knew the "G" stood the plant. Where does the "H" in HAN Sprites
fit in. They too were made in Abington. Except for 400 or so Cowley made
Sprites which have an extra letter in their chassis id.

Standing corrected
