• Well I don't know how that company made use of their serial numbers, but likely they made a whole range of products, and possibly used only one series of serial numbers, so there may actually have been only very few of this particular model.
  
  Love the seat set-up!!!

• You could be right, because that would be a lot of units of these that they made.
