We have a Series 2 Inter, one of the last of them, and it has matching frame and engine numbers. I didn't think the factory cared about these numbers

What do you mean (I didn't think the factory cared about these numbers)

[Norm]

Jackson, I didn't think the factory cared about the frame number and the motor numbers matching, at least I can't recall it happening before, might be wrong.

[Dennis C]

You're right Norm, the only maker I know of was Triumph who stamped the frame with the same number as the engine after the bike was built. I suppose it could be a fluke but more likely someone has been tampering with the numbers.

[jackson]

Norm and Dennis C, I thought that from the late Mk1A's and through the Series 2's the frame and engine numbers were matched, even the Clymers. The Rickmans might have been mixed up though.

Jackson,
I just had a look at the register, probably should have looke first, you are correct, you learn something every day

[Dennis C]

My apologies guys, it would appear that jackson is correct and the frame and engine numbers do in fact match with just a different prefix, you can find a register of Interceptor's on a competitors web site which it would be unfair to our host for me to give their details here.
