Nice work on the polishing, more details though!

Engine, mileage etc. Wondering if you have a very early H22A8. ;)

On the VIN plate, when you lift up the bonnet it should be on whatever that bar is right in front of you :lol: it's stamped on the engine itself too IIRC, there's a small flat bit to the left of the manifold as you look at it, will have the engine code and number on it.

Thread about this stuff here: http://www.ludegeneration.co.uk/general ... t3342.html
