...and these would have been fitted in the later vans - badged as Austin?

Thanks folks.

A couple of supplementary q's - is a side entry dizzy good, bad or just the sign of an early 1098?
Any advantage in changing to top entry and if so, is that just a matter of changing the cap or is there more to it?

Trying to i/d the engine in our recently acquired pick up (conversion) but it doesn't have a plate or 1098 stamped in block. Block has 18A moulded into casing. Assuming engine no has not been changed this shows 10V/189E/H71605. Any ideas what that makes it?

Thanks guys. Whereabouts should I expect to find the chassis plate?

Hi,
I'm a newbie looking to buy a pick up. Apart from looks, how can I tell a genuine one from a conversion e.g. is there a range of chassis numbers. Plus if someone says the vehicle's had doors from a saloon fitted (hmm!)what should I be wary of?

Cheers
