From memory and its been a while since I found it, my 430 has another number stamped directly either below or above the orginal number. However it was difficult to see.

Thanks Wuckfit and N7, the buyer has a contact who has access to the Powers data I believe and he's confirming today whether it tallies with the VIN, V5,etc.

I did have one last go yesterday evening and the only other number that I could see on the bottom end was HRC2411 quite near the rear on the bottom face. I believe that this shows it was one of the earlier RV8 blocks used by TVR.

Again, thanks all!

fwiw my 500 Chimaera has the engine number stamped on the front of the l/h side {near side} of the block just below the head gasket sufrace.quite hard to find even from below. it is the same number as on the body plate.
