How to find the datas

It's easy to recognize the capacity of a taunus engine, just have a look on the fender badge.

For example, this one is a 1300 cc.

Under the hood, you can find this :

A: Builder's ID plate

B: Serial Number empressed on the internal fender

C: Engine capacity, with additionnal letters :

HC = Hight compression
(leeded gazoline)

LC = Low compression
(unleeded gazoline)

If these letters are not present, the engine is always a low compression one.
