1931 engine / body numbers

Posted by dongle On 2010/8/22 15:57:01

Hello all;

I know these things never match.....

Is it the general consensus that engine / body (stamped on frame) / and other numbers should be relatively close to each other to provide proof of originality - to the car?

Or has anyone seen engine numbers several thousand (say 7 lower) away and still been original to the car?

Is that clear??

Thanks
