Nice work on the polishing, more details though!
Engine, mileage etc. Wondering if you have a very early H22A8.

(have a quick search round the forum to see if Donald has ever posted up his engine number, take 7 off that and say that's what yours is, I reckon...

On the VIN plate, when you lift up the bonnet it should be on whatever that bar is right in front of you

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.
