Chassis number location

[Ziggy]

I have a mk 4  spitfire 1972  1300 and the chassis plate is missing, can anyone tell me where else on the car it may be found?

it cant  , there are body numbers but they wont help 

do you have the V5 then copies of the commission  number can be made for you from various traders.

Ziggy,

Do you mean the VIN plate? There is a chassis plate but it was only for factory use, mine is on the cross member directly under the engine. V5 shows the VIN number if I remember correctly. A Heritage Certificate would certainly tell you and give the colour and trim codes.

With your age of car you do not actually need to display the VIN number, but it is so much easier to avoid any hassle at the MOT station, so all I did was scratch the number on a bit of alloy plate and rivit it to the bulkhead. Don't screw it, as screws are easier to use if faking an identity rather than the box of pop rivets on the shelf apparently.
