car and engine do not belong together. no questions about that. Norm Nock
gave a me a hint to find the chassis number. I will look for it and try to
get a reg # from chassis. It would be amusing to pay the money to find out
my car is a BN4
I know I saw a list of chassis #s and what series they belong to. When I get
the number I'll look it up before I send in the money
I have BT7 tags that belongs to a car that left the country, but do not
want to use it.I just would like to know what I own :) if its a BN4 with
uprated engine and brakes, so be it....
