The chassis number stamping changed position from the bulkhead to the floor around 1965. If your car is from 1965 onwards and very rusty or repaired there is a fair chance you'll no longer be able to read it :-(
The attached picture pretty clearly shows the correct position though :wink:

You might be lucky..... The car in your picture does seem to have suffered some neglect!

What's the plan for this one Taupe ? A very brave restoration or just spares ? Looks like it's sat outside with water and leaves in it for some time.

Thanks for your interest...It is really quite good once you get above floor level! :o :o :o

I have in mind fitting a fibreglass rear end similar to below (but with a gutter) and no rear seats but probably original wooden rear doors. Some front end chassis rail repairs to do first though.
