Who makes up a chassis no
How do I go about applying for a chassis no. Ive been told I need this on the car before its SVA (a little while away admitadly). I really cant be
bothered sitting down trying to make up a vin number to be told its not right. Do I have a lot of paperwork to fill in?
Cheers.

You can ask the local DVLA office. They'll often quite happily make one up.
Otherwise the usual format involves
manafacturer code : model code : date of build
It should be 17 digits and some characteres are not allowed. Not sure what though!! I've got both 0 and O on mine which I would have thought are
the main ones prone to causing confusion...
I was tempted to include the word Caterham in the middle of the VIN just to annoy Caterham's layers.....

Funny, it is the repetition that amazes me! 
Seriously, this has been asked twice in the last 7 days.
The search feature is your friend!

Deep breaths man deep breaths.
Look forward to seeing the letter, it's something I'm currently in the process of thinking about.
Does your letter cover the Q, I and Z information I posted about last night?
Best plan is to request Fozzie put your post with the scan as a sticky so it stays at the top.

i just made one up 17 digits long, avoided the number 1 and put this on the Sva form. DVLA did not question it at all.
get the dvla involved and all the burocratic idiots come out to play with different advice each time you phone them.

You don't have to have 17 digits, Russ bost has 11 or 12.
Make your own then use an online hpi checker to see if the vin exists.
The chances that it does is slim.
Just think about the lotto and you will realise why!
