    Engine Numbers

    I have noticed that re-shelled 74 CB MGB has BHM1111E 125206 as an engine number. Is this an exchange 18V unit or has it been reconditioned?

    BHM1111 is the British Leyland part number for an 18V engines,18V846/847. E is exchange. 125206 is the serial number.

     What you most likely have is a factory "Gold Seal" engine, painted gold instead of the normal MG red or black. I understand these engines were installed under factory warranty or by owners purchasing the engines outright.
