Owners Club or Registry. Newbie Question
 
Has anyone ever put together a list of the owners or the boats for the Cafe Racers. I am a new owner and I think I read where there were only something like 200 built (don’t hold me to that number). While I realize all the downfalls to an owners list, there could be a lot of benefits too. If this exists, could someone point me to it. I think the guy restoring one hull said he thought the hull was number 69. Has anyone determined where the hull number is on a boat. I’d love to know what number hull mine is. Anyway, it could be cool to keep a list and know where they are or have a group for getting things fixed or events? Maybe that’s already been done. If so any information would be helpful. I am not trying to subvert the thread. A list could facilitate sales and purchases. Thanks

I'm going off of memory, but there is a thread can you can find via search on this subject. I want to say that Craig Barry told us that there were 110 Cafe's and 68 Bullets that were built.
I'll see if i can find it and post a link...

Yes, there is a thread. Lots of guys chimed in with their build number - I seem to recall there was pretty good coverage....

Thanks for posting the link. I saw in a previous thread where you asked the guy who bought your bought about the hull number. Did you ever hear back from him how he determined your cafe racer was hull #69? I’d like to figure out what number mine is. Thanks

Its in the HIN.

If you search on here you will be able to find a thread on how to decipher the HIN. You can tell year, month, model, etc by the HIN.

Here's an example:

Found the HIN: CRT38151C787
CRT Cigarette Racing Team
38 Length
151 individual number
C March
7 Year built 1987
87 model year
