Grit blasting the chassis today and discovered not 1 BUT 2 chassis numbers.
There was 5462 with big x's through it and replaced with the correct 5469 alongside. Any ideas or was it just a bad day in the works back in 1969? |

Typing error ?
At least thieves will grind them off and re-stamp.
There's a lot of talk these days about green transport. Well, I am ahead of the game, I already have green transport ... British racing green.

Probably quite normal with Marcos, my chassis plate has 2M over stamped with 3M.
My car also has the chassis number stamped on the gearbox crossmember. |

'Probably' - read 'almost definitely'. When I collected my Mantara from the factory I caused mild embarrassment by pointing out that the registration plates on the front and back had different numbers on them! |

Where was the number on the chassis, as a matter of interest?
I've only ever seen it on the riveted on plate. Mark |

Hi Snowman
I found them on the top surface of the top chassis rail, passenger side, engine compartment, just about in line with the distributor. |
