Hey Chris,
This was the info on the parts that I could find
To sum up, the car as it is has an unknown chassis number (i couldn't read it) and motor M51880.
The chassis below (51443) matches the engine that is currently in the car, but not sure if this chassis is repairable.
Two spare engine blocks M11900 and M46156, but not really sure if they would run.
Seems like quite a mix match of stuff.
Also, I couldn't seem to find a body number anywhere.
Hope this was what you were after.
Adrian
Thanks for the pointers as well. Will look at joining up to the vintage austin register.
I seem to be missing the throttle return spring, so that might be my first thing to do, along with tinkering at anything and everything
Bit of a (maybe) silly question. But what fuel type is recommended and do they need lead additive? I remember with the MG I had I needed to add an additive to the fuel due to modern petrol being unleaded.
