I looked up the proper information on the chassis #'s for BT7's.

>From the Anderson/Moment restoration guide (on 6 cyl roadsters):

"A common reference number appears on various body panels, including the splash panel, hood latch bracket, hood hinge bracket, and trunk lid prop bracket.  Another number, probably a Boulton Paul frame number, was stamped on the right-hand shock tower.  These numbers do not match either the car number or body number on the six-cylinder cars.  the body number was stamped on the backs of the cockpit moldings on the first series BN4's but this practice apparently was discontinued with the BN6's.  Serial numbers were stamped on the transmission, overdrive and rear axle, though these did not match other numbers on the car."

I have a BN7  that's been in storage for years and I'm thinking its time to
take on the project. Trouble is the fire wall was cut out when the PO was
planning to drop a V8 in it. So I have no serial #. The car did come with an
engine (Healey six) but not the original engine, so I can't even use the
engine to try and find the car #.
My question to the group is: what would be the best way to get a # plate for
this car so that I can get a title issued. Any suggestions would be
appreciated
