Unfortunatly, I can't make Memphis :-( . I had a look through the archives
and saw that a discusssion like this had come up before but nothing was ever
decided on... I'm asking because my car has engine 000000579 and vin 12180
(may 82) and I was just looking for some more info on it as I've heard that
the factory RHD's (of which mine is) have very early bodies and I was
wondering if the engines were also early. You mention frame numbers - where
can this be found on the car and would this also be a more reliable dating
method than the VIN's??


Many thanks
