On the earlier cars it was under the hood on a plate on the cross member by the radiator....and on later cars, it was also on a plate on the dash by the windscreen/windshield.

Engine number is stamped on the engine block and is hard to get at....been a long time since I looked for the engine number, so I could be wrong.

@manikjeet:

Thanks for the compliments. The car is a really very well maintained car.

I recently checked a few cars and found the plates are actually fixed on these cars.

I have attached a picture of a car which has the plates for your purview.

I wish somebody is able to help stamp these plates as per orignal spectification for me so i can bring back the cars originality to 100%.

Thread revival/VIN help

Hi folks- been a long time since I last checked in. Looking at a w124 wagon down the street, and the old Russian VIN site is long gone. Anyone got some help for me?

VIN: WDBEA92E0PF244804

Plate says 10/92, so a very early '93 wagon with the m104. It's been repainted, and I wanted to check out other details too.

TIA
