Blimey - you have good eyes Rob - how can you tell that from the photo ?
I just went off the front indicators and rear-quarter emblem.

Yes, beggin' yer pardon sir (toffs cap and wrangles it behind back in nervosity).I assume you meant 'With respect Rich'
Agreed and by original, are we stating the factory leaving colour or one colour in the life of the car that probably had several ?I think the car looks great as is. Sod the original colour.
Really? We can debate what "original colour" means?Agreed and by original, are we stating the factory leaving colour or one colour in the life of the car that probably had several ?
Well the VIN would be a good start but not exhaustive as we know (bulkheads etc).
If the VIN 'checks-out' and you have records of that reg with that VIN from 'way back' then you are halfway there.
Exactly where on the bulkhead should the shell VIN be, please? I understand it to be somewhere near or above the brake servo but don’t want to strip too much paint yet... anyone post a picture of theirs? Thanks guys!
Lots of paint... lots!I don't know how you can't even see the approx outline under the paint? You're right on the location.
Check both sides of the bulkhead. Also is there an identification plate on the strut turret? These can get left off after a respray though.
The engine number is on the block below the number 6 spark plug. Is it an L24, 26 or 28?
