Hi Mfast,

 

"BIY 1925" indicates a Birkin built from a very basic kit, rather than a factory assembled rolling chassis. "BIY" stands for "Build It Yourself". I built and own BIY 1877. BIY 1925 was built by a fellow named Bob Micket in 2001. I found this info in the archives of the birkinowners Yahoo group. There are a couple of pics in the "files" area too.

 

BIYs were delivered as a complete frame with the aluminum body panels attached. They had a wiring harness, fuel lines and brake lines installed. Suspension including the rear axle and steering rack were included, and pretty much everything else was al a carte. You could buy packages like instruments and interior, or skip them and source the parts yourself. It was great fun.

 

Anyway, all are welcome at birkinowners:
