Hi Malcolm
Have a look at the front left hand shock tower. Up high and on the outside one of the plates has an indent. On an Evans chassis it will have an identification number hand stamped on it. On mine, for example, it has stamped "E002".
The late Paul Wooley told me this about ten years ago.
It's possible Mr Evans copied that process from Mr Wooley.

When I applied for a permit to build my version of a Cobra replica from the Motor Vehicle Registry Technical Advisory Committee they did not recognize that number.

Hope this helps you a bit.

Cheers
Dave
