Brought my series to get plates changed over this morning to irish vehicle reg tax office, inspector wanted to see stamp on chassis and won't clear customs until I have located it. Where the fudge is this? There is waxoyl on chassis so peeling back is gonna tricky so any help would be great?!

No, they're not restamping it. They're going to clean it up for you and help you find where it's been all along...

if it's a 2, 2a or 3 it should be on the OFFSIDE dumbiron (left of the vehicle when looking at the front), the normal reason for it being missing is the dumbiron has rotted out and has been replaced
when i replace dumbirons nowadays i give the numbered one back to the vehicle owner to minimise future hassle regardless if it can easily be read and if buying a vehicle that's been repaired buyers should ask for the old dumbiron (most folks throw them away after a period of time though as they get fed up of tripping over the scrap)

i dunno about Thor, some CKDs i believe were stamped to the rear of the chassis but all mine to date have been on the offside front, including the one i have that was built in Australia
if it's a S1 i have no idea at all where thier chassis number is

Re: Rust it up: A quick brush on of brick acid (hydrochloric acid), followed by a rinse and a weirebrushing with oil to "clean Up" the surface is quite effective.
Do not ask how I know this.

As far as stampings on S.1, early ones IIRC were stamped near the offside motor mount. CKDs continued to do that in AU when built up by certain companies - my 1954 86 (ex-AU) was one of them and caused me no end of grief when registering it here in the US as the old AU reg used the motor number instead of the serial number (God knows why).
I practically ended up pledging my firstborn and my right testicle to get that thing through the registration process even with a clear bill of sale and a paper trail all the way from AU.

Re: find number:
Nope - didn't do that to that truck or any other. I have done it with reproduction cast items for "antiquing" the look. SWMBO is very fussy about the silly statuary she clutters up the garden with.
