The next 2 numbers after the N is the year it was issued. They usually issue a new engine number if they are unreadable after decking the block or if the number is unreadable from being stolen or if the engine is from overseas and the engine number plate was removed.Here is an example of a block stamped in 1968 by the NSW Police. Attachment: N682861P, 2861st reissued by NSW police in 1968.jpg To check you have a 1970 MK2 S engine I would look at the rear of the block for the casting number AEG312 like in this photo below.

People used to think that if their Cooper S had the NxxxxxxP engine number then it was ex police. This is far from the truth. All police cars would have come with the standard factory engine number for the model. I hope the car your looking at isn't using the NxxxxxxP engine number as evidence it was a police car. |
