you could try a letter from your mum 
i had the haynes book with me and a
letter from nissan telling me the month and year the block was made
log book with engine number would also do

If it's a Ford you can get a letter from them saying when it was made.

If you have a Ford engine send a letter to
Technicial information dept,
Ford motor company,
P O Box 300,
Walsall,
WS5 4QH.
give them the engine number and model you got it from (if known) they will send you a confirmation letter.

You don't need one at all if the engine age is post 1st August 1995.

Without proof of age the engine would have to meet the latest emission requirements which would make Xflow/Pinto etc very difficult if not impossible
to get through SVA

Having bought an original donor car with a V5, just keep a log of the engine number and donor vehicle details with you. As I run a really common A
series engine, the good old Haynes manual has all the manufacture years against models, even carb needle codes! Turns out the Metro GTa I bought was
fitted with a late MG Metro engine - Those sneaky Rover production line monkies!!
