Can any one please tell me if it is possible to find out the correct engine number for my 1959 built AH3000/ I purchased the car from the USA in 2011 the car is original and totaly un restored although the engine has been rebuilt at some stage and painted a grey colour. Is the engine number recorded any where on the body? The chassis number is HBT7L03727. IanS

Hi Ian,
The engine number is not recorded anywhere else on the car besides the engine. You can obtain a certificate of factory numbers, including engine, by specifying your chassis # from British Motoring Heritage. Here's the link: https://www.heritage-motor-centre.co.uk/s...sis-number.html

Hey Ian,
Wouldn't worry about the color. The engine paint was called "steel dust gray"(per Clausager) so that could easily explain someone painting it a gray color if the more accurate green metallic paint was not available or known. Get your Heritage certificate and a lot of questions will be answered.
Regards,
Mike

If you don't care to purchase a "Certificate" you could check the registries for your particular model. The BCF lists registries above. If the car was registered they should have given the engine number.
At least I've always thought they would. Otherwise what's the use of a register if not to clarify issues like this?
Just my opinion.
