Subject: Re: LG45 / LG6 strange engine number
Interesting thoughts, chaps. From what you say, it seems that the engine numbers were applied in Staines rather than Wolverhampton? If that's right, and this was a 'float' engine as you suggest (which seems an entirely logical premise to me), the proposition explains why there is no chassis number included (of course).
However, I'm still a little unclear as to why (or even how) an LG6 float engine came to be stamped up as an S3? No matter how long it had been hanging around in the stores, it's stamped as an LG6 despite ending up in an S3 LG45. Assuming that it had no engine number at all stamped on it prior to use, and that it had indeed been upgraded from S3 to S4 spec., why give it an LG6 prefix and yet an S3 suffix?
