Before the RTA took over engine number identification, the police used to issue engine numbers. So when you bought a new block from GMH and fitted it, you toddled off down to your local cop shop and got a new number for it.

Any sort of car at all - from ex taxis to cars which have blown a head gasket and stuffed the motor.
