Vin and engine number

Post by MR2dummiesguide »

Hi owners, I’ve just purchased a mk2 mr2 with what I believe is a Rev 5 engine in it. Firstly where do I find the VIN and engine number. Would people be put
off with a Rev 5 engine in a Rev 2 car. Also it’s a Japanese import only ever mot’d in this country in 2007 with 11000 on the dash, how is this car viewed by the community.

What makes you think it's a Rev5 engine ? the engine number won't tell you anything, there's no cross reference between engine number and year/type that I know of, even Mr T doesn't use it for reference (i.e in the EPC)
Black is not a colour ! .... Its the absence of colour
