Engine number on the side of the fan bracket. RHS of fan housing as you look into engine bay.
VIN on driver side front inner wing, i think stamped into bodywork near fuel tank if I recall correctly

Hi David,

There are a number of places the VIN can be found, some places to look are under the luggage lid, under the luggage area carpet, in the passenger B pillar under the door catch and in the front of the maintenance handbook. The B pillar slam panel, handbook and lid VINs are on paper. Often the B pillar label is discoloured, or missing, due to cleaning and weather damage. The others should be in good condition and clear to read.
The engine number is on the fan housing on the right hand side near the bottom. If anyone has beaten me to posting this reply I hope this helps.
Did the '84 Cab not workout?

84 Cab is in Porsche Aberdeen but not approved Used and 45k ..... also found ad for the same car 12 months before at 35k with a list of issues that needed fixing , seems the car has only had some paint since on rear quarters and bonnet . Also photo show clear mismatch on gap between l and r wing and bonnet.
Hi ,
I have some photos to share and would appreciate your views on if it looks original . Also the label under bonnet is not present but the label is on the drivers door shut as is the other label that is on the passenger door shut near the latch. Both are aged and faded and look original.
If you could advise your email I will send them to you my phone number is 07785287712
Thanks
David

Hi David, it's not that unusual for the underbonnet sticker to be missing, however it's not difficult to spot a non original car to be honest. if you can post some pictures on here, it will help considerably.
Is there anything specific that arouses your suspicions?
