I’m interested to know whether my 1955 86 inch has its original engine. Is there a way to determine this, or at least whether the manufacture dates of engine and car are about the same? The chassis number is 57661229 and the engine number 111800298.

Good to know. Thanks for the replies. Very helpful.

This is for 86"/107" S1Today1.jpg Sorry it's upside down even though I rotated it but keeps inverting it. This is for 88"/109" S1 today2.jpg
It appears to be a 1958 number as stated previously. The only real difference is that the '55 has 11/16" gudgeon pins and the '58 has the 7/8" pins that were fitted from 1956 models onwards. I learned this when I ordered a set of O/S pistonds for a late '55 engine and the pins were too large for the conrod little ends. Whoops!. Anybody looking for a set of 7/8" pin pistons?
