I just received the Heritage Certificate for my '65 Spit, and I was surprised to see that it had the wrong engine number. Now, obviously, the first thought is that it wasn't the cert that was wrong but a replacement engine in the car. But I'm pretty sure it's the original engine. The Heritage Cert lists the engine as FC51452E and the car has engine FC51752HE in it currently. First, those numbers are awful close to be a replacement engine (just a 7 switched for a 4, and the H dropped). And second, which is the clincher, I've got the original bill of sale from April of '65 that agrees with the engine that's in the car.
Anyway, I was going to send off an email to the archivist who did my cert and see if maybe he just made a mistake, or possibly whoever took the information down originally in January of '65 wrote it down wrong. But I wondered if anybody else had a similar experience.
