The VIn number is stamped into the chassis. Front drivers corner, front of the rail, on the d rivers side verticle panel - near where the tie down eye bolts on.
The VIN number relates to the vehicle - it is convenient to put it on a chassis.
However, if you use an old chassis and put new engine, gearbox, axles, body, interior, bulkhead, etc, then you will need to inform the DVLA who will issue a Q plate.
Or, conversly, if you rechassis your LR, then you should tell the DVLA.
Or, just stamp the old chassis number onto the new one yourself.
'cops'
im shocked you would think that ! i have known a few dodgy car handlers who didnt know a lot of the places for id tags and numbers ect on cars so it wouldnt be hard to imagine some one asking a question on a forum such as this to find out if there are any places other than the usual ones where id stamps might be hiding. a lot of fords had a steel 'tag' on the bottom of the front valence which was just a lot of rectangle 'holes' it was infact a barcode to id the car.
