Well my new Spyder Zetec engine will have a familiar number stamped on it, even though it will have a capacity change.

Not a problem, I'm reading and researching with interest. Although I'm not entirely sure what these DVLA changes are and what they would mean. Are we saying that if you drop a used engine into your Elan, the DVLA want to know where it's come from, otherwise they won't consider it a classic? And where does this leave all the Spyder Zetecs?
