On a '67 IIA... where should the VIN # plate be? I can't find it on my new (to me) LR.
VIN # plate... dumb question...

On the bulkhead (firewall) below the instruments in the middle of the dash. Or just in front of the gear lever.
There should be 2 plates there. The VIN plate and also a plate that gives instructions on the 4WD gear levers.

is this where it should be?
Note the lack of anything under the instrument except black paint and some drill holes...-Cosmo-

The SIIa on this page doesn't show it, but if you scroll down to the SIII dash, you can see the number plate just forward of the transfer case levers: http://www.roversnorth.com/store/c-107-dashboard.aspx-L

unfortunately no plates in place on that bulkhead. Any suggestions on how to discover the vin # / history? Possibly from engine block # or frame serial #??? Otherwise I am going to have a tough time titling. title has been MIA for about 6 yrs (previous owner also MIA) and now it seems I have no way of performing a VIN search with Car Fax...-Cosmo-

The number on that plate would be the same number that's on the outside of the chassis' front horn. On the vehicle's right side, look in past the front tire.
A '67 Rover won't have a VIN, it'll have a chassis number : http://www.lrfaq.org/Series/FAQ.S.Ch...bers.type.html-L

Cosmic it looks like you have great Rover there. Can you post pictures?
Unfortunately sometimes people sell VINs off of these Rovers for use in other vehicles. Hopefully this didn't happen to yours...'67 sort of station wagon (limestone), '65 gray hardtop, '63 blue Station Wagon, '64 limestone station wagon in piecesComment

Parcel shelf location on my 67 NADA 109 and 71 NADA 88. The 88 also has a plate in the driver's door jamb.Comment

My '72 NADA 88 has the door-jamb one, but I've not seen 'em on anything that wasn't a NADA SIII. Your '71 is right at.... The '60 doesn't have such, and I've not seen any on vehicles from the '60's vintage.....
AFAIK, the engine no. doesn't have a relation w/ the vehicle's chassis no.-L

Oh, on the parcel-shelf location: again, AFAIK, that's the 'alternate' location when the additional heating would be mounted that would block the location in front of the transfer-case lever. Maybe not 'official', but it's what it's seemed like to me.-L

Here is the Cosmic 88 when I got her.... A little water, soap and wax and she'll be good as new...plus a few years of my life, too much cash and some blood, sweat and tears.
So many mysteries with this LR, I now think it may be a '66 but will have to get that serial number (VIN) to find out for sure.-Cosmo-

My 67 109 NADA has it riveted in it's orig. location. It is in the 'glove box' area - top right corner. Seems like most 88's I've seen had it located on the center area of the lower section of the bulkhead. My 109 also came w/the factory heat duct that goes across this area though.
Good luck!Comment
