Hey guys,

This might be a bit of a n00bie question but I was wondering how do you check if you have the original A12 in you 1200?

I have a 71 sedan so I dont have any plates or numbers on the firewall other than the B120xxxx that is stamped on the LHS firewall. I checked my WA rego papers and the engine number on that matches the engine, is there any other way?

cheers

A 1971 sedan should have this plate:

Open in new window

The plate includes the original engine number.


Australian-assembled sedans should have a slightly different plate in the same spot:

Then the plate has been lost over the years. 42 years old now.

so does that mean that there is no way of determining if its the original motor?

Your state transport authority may be able to tell you what engine number it was first rego'ed with
