on mk1's the vin no was usually just above the rad in case you missed it.

just a plain ally plate riveted on with a number on it, nothing else,

no inner wing anyone no anything about getting the car reg for same year and applying for a v5??

If you dont know the reg or chassis number you have no hope. Only option is to get a V5 from somewhere else.

When you say the number doesn't mean anything, have you tried this site

The early formats were very different to modern VIN numbers.

Also, DVLA are hopeless at keeping accurate records especially if it's a number in a previous format - they have "lost" a letter in the middle of my chassis number during the change to the new style V5C and when I sent it in for an engine number change they typed it in wrong - so if you are trying to get DVLA to recognise your number you may have to try a few permutations.

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

I think my Mini had the chassis no stamped where the rubber sits in front of the scuttle panel, under the bonnet ?

Although I suspect thats a more modern thing

9.85 @ 145mph
202mph standing mile
speed didn't kill me, but taxation probably will
