The chassis tag might be a better choice for finding what was original. It seems less likely that the chassis was swapped in addition to the commision plate.

That could've been swapped too AND i'd have to pay for a BMHT certificate just to find out...not worth it. ==AM== I don't know if you'd necessarily get a diff. number on a BMIHT certificate. On the other hand, you would likely get a body number. That's a smaller tag that was painted originally, and it's a bit less likely to have been swapped. But even that by itself won't tell you much, especially whether or not the car originally was RH steering. --Andy Mace *Mrs Irrelevant: Oh, is it a jet? *Man: Well, no ...
