Oh boy not this subject again ... but Doug one thing I can confirm and I collected this data from the Cobra Site ... the 3 guys who brought MKIV's to the US in 1985 -2001 say that all motors had to have serial numbers in them...so I assume any car coming to the US has to have serila #'s in other places other then just the body.
