BMH and i are having let's call it discussions on the VIN I have on Bugsy II's title. I need alternative locations where VIN was written on / stamped on a BE. VIN plate and plate on left door along with BAE plate are missing. Dashboard last 2 numbers I can read but don't match any of the VIN numbers. New panel kit came with car so can't look for VIN written on back of interior panels. What else is left? Stamping above right suspension mount with stamping of VIN did not start until later cars.
there is a chassis stamping on right side just below cowl that is within 150 #'s of the VIN on the old title but that's all the proof I can find. Problem is the car was evidently a RHD originally. Any thoughts on where else to look for a VIN on this BE. Trying to avoid getting a reissued VIN that will require Bugsy II to be titled as something other than a '59 Austin Healey Sprite. Thanks.
