That's a NSW police issued number, so it won't tell you what it is. Does the back of the block have cover plates or not? |

Lots of minis that have had a 1275 transplant are using the 1100S engine (12YD engine number). These have a 12G1279 casing number at the rear. This casing was also used in the UK 1275GT. You used to be able to pickup an 1100S car for next to nothing. |

Whenever you bought a NEW (non S) block from BMC (I bought 2) they came with NO engine number. You took it and the receipt to your local fuzz, they allocated a number and directed you to a business of their choosing to get it stamped. They `may' also have allocated a Police number if the original was machined off and could not be discovered (a maybe). Code N (for NSW) 79 (year) 3729 (sequential number that year) P (Police). |
