Thanks to all who have replied, and we have
the info!
"If one assumes that the 4023 is the chassis number
then the details of that car are Chassis#4023,
Engine# 33531, Gear box 1742HR This car was a
2-Seater Roadster finished in Green with Stone
interior and finished to US specs. with wire wheels
and laminated screen. It left the factory on
22.10.1958 and was supplied to Fergus Motors,
New York."
This was confirmed by the owner. Hopefully the title
will be restored, the car sold, and we'll see it
refurbished and on the road again soon.

The chassis number of my Morgan is 4399. manufactured Aug 1960
I checked through our club roster for chassis numbers,the
closest is 4018
which is a 59 DHC. 4122 is also a 59 +4 .... so my guess is 4023 is
likely early 1959.
As I see from someone else you can find the chassis number on the frame
under the passenger knees.
The original engine number for the car appears in 3 places under the
bonnet, on both sides of the bonnet hinge just above the
thermostat, and on
the firewall deck on the right hand side, on the level portion
of the seam
for the tool storage compartment. This number should match
the number on
the block wich is stamped on a flat section just to the rear of the
ignition coil mounting bolt.
In my case the engine number is 60026. no letters or # signs.
Good to see you on here Joe. it was a pleasure to meet you a
cpl of months
ago.
Cheers
Marv
