Hey. Just found this on the web which seems to explain the difference in numbers:
"Mercian frame numbers include the year of manufacture, but where the year appears in the sequence has varied over time. From the 1970s through 1999, the year is the last two digits of the frame number. After 1999, the last four digits are the year of manufacture. For at least part of the 1950s, the first two digits indicate the year, but this pattern was not followed consistently."
I've checked his website and I was hoping for something a little cheaper.
