The vehicle number is BN1L 154897and the engine number is 1B 207399.
These numbers are on a name plate that is on the left inside forward side-panel.
The chassis number, 154897, is also on a name plate below the oil filter. On
the engine side of the firewall is a name plate with the numbers 4667 and
2082. Can anyone tell me what these last two numbers mean? I would
appreciate any specifics on the origin and history of the car.

Ben--
This vehicle number dates to around April, 1954.
Cars produced prior to September, 1954 had separate vehicle and chassis
numbers.
The last two numbers are the "body batch number/body number" issued by Jensen.
Congratulations on your purchase--where are you located?
