Steam Driver: If you have records that show that was the engine from your car, I'm not doubting you, but otherwise, it seems unlikely that a chassis as low as #225 would have come with engine #797, >500 serials later. Most engine-to-VIN numbers don't line up exactly, but they went through chassis faster than engines because the engine codes were split between US and Europe while the chassis VINs were shared. So chassis numbers went up faster than engines. Also, 6400797 indicates a non-US engine, was your car imported privately?

cheers,
dug
