Where is the chassis number stamped on an Elan 1600

Sandy, that is your car's Unit No.

What Gary, five and a half years ago, was referring to was a chassis sequence number, in all probability used by the firm who were building the early Elan 1600 chassis for Lotus. The sequence numbers were not used as any form of identifier by Lotus for the Elan.
