Thread: Can't find the engine number.

I thought before that I had removed all the dirt, but I re-visited the issue yesterday. It seems that what I was looking at before was a smooth, hard layer of dirt. I persevered with a scraper and then a wire brush, and the number became evident. It is 31 units before the body number. This would most likely make it the factory engine. The chasis number also matches the body number. So I will now repair the chasis rather than use a donor chasis.

Hi aron 11a great news on finding an early 80. The fact it runs is a great bonus. As for the engine number I had a very early 061 chassis vehicle and it had a 1.6 engine with no number stamped on the block. It was a 10 /49 car.
How bout some photos when u get some time.
Cheers.
