As you say, at least the seats went to the motor show but they did come with the car when I bought it.

Or it's the end of a roll of material that was used to trim the motor show cars!

It is written on three of the red panels so the end of roll theory is probably out. The number could be job/order no.

If your car was a Motor Show car it is more than likely recorded as such in the factory records. You could check it out in the archives at Gaydon.
