Well , unexpected to me for sure. Ive just removed the chassis from my 1966 elan coupe ( vin number ; 36/5468) and went looking for the chassis number. Found it eventually on top of the chassis "spine" but the number ; 26A701 took me slightly by surprise. Do the chassis and body belong together? I would love to hear peoples thoughts please,
Phil

Chassis number should be on the flange, just forward of the motor mount, right hand side.

I thought the numbers were marked on exhaust side?

Both my Sprint and 67 Coupe are marked on the right side. My Sprint's format is '0243K' and my
Coupe is '36/5727'.

I stand corrected - now I look at my photos that's where mine is! Sorry.
