Default BA GT engine number location???

I am looking at buying a FPV and the owner can't find the engine number for me to do a security check on the car.
Can someone point us in the right direction please.

Shouldn't you be using the VIN number and not the Engine number. If the engine has been swapped and the road authority haven't been made aware of it, you wont get the correct info.
