Thread: Replacement VIN/ID plates

Being a series 2 or 2a did it have any in the first place?? I don't think they came in until about when the series 3 was released?? (1970/71??)

Not legally. It's usually called rebirthing.

IIAs didn't have VIN plates. They did have a plate with the date of manufacture and the chassis number though, however this is not necessary for roadworthy/rego. Technically the RWC inspectors are required to read the chassis number directly from the chassis on pre-vin vehicles.

Depends which model.Try e-bay .Item no. 270730827107

They were just screenprinted alloy...has anyone ever seen reproductions pop up for sale?

As others have said before me, the VIN system didn't come into being untill the 1980's, prior to that Land Rovers had a "Car No." or "Vehicle No." which is the same as the number stamped on the chassis. We usually call it a chassis number.

From 1972 vehicles in Australia also had a "Compliance Plate" which specified the chassis number, the date the plate was affixed, number of passengers and a list of ADR the vehicle complied with. Very few (if any) SIIa were affixed with a compliance plate!

If you wish to replace the aluminium plate that had the transfer box instructions, many of them have been reproduced and are available from Scott's Old Auto Rubbers Classic Repro- Land Rover

Brilliant! This is the plate I was after, a million thanks to all who responded.

I also need to replace a missing body plate on my 57 series 1. Can anyone tell me which one its supposed to be or a pic of one if they could? No idea what it looks like.
Thanks
