On the CPTDB wiki, it is mentioned on the page for the Series VIII coaches that 2840 was the final coach built to the classic design, in February 2015, though the numbering goes up to 2857.

Can anyone in the know shed some light on what this means? Does this mean that the coaches were numbered out of building sequence, or was 2840 started in the correct sequence and just happened to be the coach that was physically completed last, like how CLRV 4000 was built in the correct order but was the last Swiss car to be delivered?

It’s not uncommon for vehicles to be delivered out of order. Happens all the time with buses.
