Interesting thoughts..

Despite the Heritage records the MCR still collects and records 'existing' S data in Mk I, II and III registers.

Cheers, Ian

The numbers on the firewall were hammered out (when the s was stolen) as far as we can see, we are still looking though, the car has some interesting history.
I found the original owners in coonamble NSW. From where it was stolen ,

contact your Police forensic division in charge of stolen vehicles. The hammered out number may be able to be recovered. I used to be a Cop and saw the forensic boys recovering changed numbers on a stack of cars we seized as part of a racket. The recovery was all done at the Alderley depot and from memory they were treating the metal with an acid solution which slowly ate away at the surrounding metal revealing the original numbers. See if you can find a sympathetic cop who will help you out.
