I just wanted confirm the car still has the original engine MF3173. In the comments it refers to engine 3137 being in AP 305. This may well be the case but as you will see someone has got their numbers mixed up - engine MF3173 is still in chassis MF3171.
The car has been in the family for 77 years."
