VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER & ENGINE NUMBER
The Vehicle Identification Number (V.I.N.) is located on the left hand side of the windscreen and stamped on the chassis in the right hand front wheelarch area,
viewable with the front wheels turned to full right lock, and is also printed on a label stuck to the chassis sideframe alongside the driver’s seat..
The engine number is marked on a vertical patch at the right hand side of the rear face of the cylinder block, adjacent to the clutch housing.
Both numbers should always be quoted with any vehicle enquiries, as Factory records are filed against V.I.N., and specification change points are identified by
V.I.N. or engine number. The vehicle licence number should be considered irrelevant, since it may not accurately reflect the vehicle age, and may also be changed
during the car’s life.
The V.I.N. comprises 17 characters, coded in accordance with European Economic Community (EEC) directives. For change point identification in Service Notes
and Service Parts Lists, characters 10 (model year) and 15 - 17, or 14 - 17 (serial number) will be quoted
