A March has two numbers, one on a chassis plate and one (tub number) stamped onto the tub. Although the chassis plate can be removed, the stamped number would have to be ground off and it is highly unusual for that to happen. So that tub number will still be on the car somewhere.
Until 1978 it was found underneath the rollover hoop but then the construction methods changed and I don't know where it is on an 802.
Also, bear in mind the numbers are different. March 802-3 was built on tub M802/1 for example. If you can find the tub number, we have to use March records to work backwards and find out the number that would have been on that missing chassis plate.
Four 802s went to Japan in 1980 and another three followed in 1981.
