Hi,
 
Mid purchase and PO is having trouble getting a clear VIN from plate on firewall.  
 
Is there a stamp or something on chassis?  
 
Where abouts is the secondary VIN location likely to be if there is one?
 
Thanks in advance for your help, appreciate your time.

P.S.  I know the rules and photo's will follow as soon as he's formally ours!

I think you will have to get a bigger yard or stop collecting. You are getting quite a collection now. Are you and Mick having a competition. Look forward to seeing the new addition.

Just back from the front of the RH chassis rail, on the outboard side.
There is a sort of triangular wedge added under the main rail and its stamped on that.

CN should be on the (rhs) front of the RH chassis rail - 
can be missing if there has been repair of accident damage at this point
should be a letter & number combination like "SALLDHMZ + 3 letters and 7 digits"
if you are checking online on the PPRS Personal Property Securities Register (http://www.ppsr.gov.au/Pages/ppsr.aspx)  it will be registered as a "chassis no" not a "VIN" even though it's the same (according to them old vehicles do not have VINs ... hmmm...)

I know its improving LR wise...  and I do want a real big shed one day!  Am nowhere near Micks numbers yet though!
 
Just finalising all the details now, will still need to fix "The Count" up and flog off the Mrs LC105.  Then I can commence operation "Devious Dave" and work out how to get hold of a nice 101 Winch Truck before Mrs knows what's hit her!  :angel:
 
When the mystical "one day 101" takes its first trip out with my boys and I, towing a half ton camper trailer I will be truely contented!

Competition!
I'm up for the challenge.
What can I buy next? Thanks for the storage offer Landover. My next purchase(s) are on their way to your place.

Hmmm, I have a VIN plate riveted to the brake booster mounting / housing under the bonnet on my V8 County.  Land Rover UK though, so maybe it's different to yours.
