Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
The official VIN is stamped on the right hand side of the boot compartment floor. An additional quick reference and anti forgery identification number is stamped onto a metal plate and fastened to the instrument panel. It is positioned close to the left-hand side of the vehicle and is visible from the outside.
The vehicle identification number is also located on a vehicle certification label or VIN plate which is mounted on the bottom of the 'B' Post.
