Hopefully you have got this resolved by now but just to add my four penneth and having spent many ours at Gaydon researching the chassis numbers for the MGB Jubilee & LE Owners Club then with parience you should find the chassis number you require to then go to the DVLA for a V5c.

Gaydon can pull out the build sheets based on approximate year and from there you will get a good idea of the body numbers used. Just be sure to allow yourself plenty of time.

Good luck and please let us know how you het on.

I think you'll find that the emission rates apply to the dare of registration of the vehicle irrespective of the engine. I have a 1986 engine in my 1975 Land Rover and the emissions are a maximum of 4.5 but if the engine was in its original vehicle it would be about 2.6.

That should read date of build not date of registration regarding emissions.
