Thanks everyone. The car has an A code engine, 289 4V and there is a number on the rego papers which was issued by the transport dept. I am lucky in the fact the tag is still attached which has 289 65 5 and underneath 4-H 553 J but I would have like to known where the engine number was for myself. At least I know now, that there probably isn't one anywhere.......Ta again, Too Blue
