Decoding Vauxhall HPC engine numbers


Dreamer

Recommended Posts

 

The invoice for my car shows the engine number as KD-2673-VX

However, the section of the VIN that is for the engine number stamp is blank. This is very common for CKD (kit) cars. I understand that some people did have an engine number stamped by the factory on their VIN plate as the engine was shipped with the kit. BUT…

Where the heck did this character string come from? The four digits coincide with four from my car’s VIN and VX obviously is for Vauxhall. What does the KD stand for? Why do other HPC's not have a similar character string? What significance (if any) does the engine number have? Are these numbers actually stamped on the engine someplace?
