Austin A40 Sports - Identification

The Austin A40 Sports has three important identification numbers: the chassis number, the engine number and the Jensen body number.

These can be found in the following places.

 - Chassis Number

- Engine Number

- Jensen Body Number

The chassis number and engine number can also be found on a cream plastic tag attached to the inside of the glovebox.

The Jensen body number is stamped into the aluminum and can be found in various places. The most prominent being one in the front shroud and the rear panel. It consists of a four-digit "batch or factoring number" and the actual body number. Jensen started the body count again with the arrival of the new GD3 model in autumn 1951.

The engine block again - it seems to have a date stamp cast into the block!
