Eninge Number in US Registration Documents
Hello, I have a question to our US (California) friends (this is a continuation of the previous thread "Unidentified Engine Number").
In 2003 I bought a 1977 911 Targa in the UK that was originally imported from California. In the UK Registration document it says Engine No 0101000583 - which is obviously wrong - any Porsche fan knows that the 1977 US 911's have engine numbers starting with 637...
How did this happen? I thought it was a mistake.
Could it be something else? Is it possible that the US documents use a different identification for the engine? Could it be that when the car was imported to the UK, the authorities didn't check the engine number and copied a number from the US registration document?
Thanks for your time!
[I insist in this issue because I have a huge problem... Local authorities see 0101000 as an engine number in the original Greek license and compare it to the "true" 637xxx (in the FIVA card) and think I have changed the engine. As a result they are not issuing license plates... All because someone input the wrong engine number in the UK Registration]
