Hi guys i have the reg number but cant find the vin number where is it and if i havent got it how do i get a v5. I have the form ive filled it in but it asks for the vin and states if its not filled in the form will be sent back so because its a bare shell i dont have the engine number and assuming i dont have the vin number how do i get a v5 with just the reg number

Cheers james

What you're proposing is illegal. That ID is now scrap. You need to send the logbook to the DVLA and declare it as scrap.

Using a second hand shell is fine...IF that shell comes with its own ID and some other components like a steering rack and rear subframe.

Unless you buy a heritage shell?

[The Matt]

This is true. If using a new shell then it's legal.

[jpw1275]

I think buying a heritage shell would probably work out cheaper in the long run

If some bloke down the pub gives me a shell with the id removed and a number plate can you get me the details for it too.

The registration come back as inactive, no longer on the dvla database etc.

 

If you know where to look, you can access this information.

Really? All very top secret.

Simple enough to see if the car has been scrapped - but you are implying you can lift the VIN and engine number from the VRM- is that so?

 

I'd guess that unless you work at either the DVLA or are a wooden top then you won't get the chassis/engine number from just the number plate, in fact I'm prepared to bet you a fiver.

 

Check out WCH 525G and tell me what it is....I know it's a cooper 1000.....can you tell me anything else about it?

If you've got an account with HPI check companies you can get the VIN number using the reg.

Waves goodbye to a fiver......lol
