    there is an id number at the bottom pass. side of the windscreen, should be two plates in the engine bay, one on the radiator support panel and one on the firewall.

    Note down the VIN number on the ID plate and get VicRoads to do a search for you against the Engine Number which I am pretty sure is stamped into the actual engine block (I think).

    Hmm, I'd think you would if it's been registered as stolen. Do you have access to the person you bought it from.. like contact details or anything?
