Just the VIN; if you want to include anything else it's entirely up to you.

You also need to stamp it "permanently" on the chassis somewhere that MR DVLA can read it. rivited plate no good it has to be on a welded
bit of the chassis or on a plate welded to the chassis minimum 5mm high numbers and letters!

Sorry to hijack the thread but does the chassis need to be stamped for the SVA or just for when DVLA bring their total incompetence to the fore and
sort out registration??
I am going to buy a set of the number / letter stamps later as the car will be done within 2 weeks now so what size is best / legible?? Looking at a
set of 4mm character ones on ebay at the moment so please dont bid against me - the guy only lives 5 mins away from me so i can collect in person -
are these suitable??

Another thread hijack. For a scratch built car, when do you make up the VIN / tell the DVLA? Application for SVA? Application for inspection?
I'm almost done with the chassis and would like to weld in the stamped plate before I finish, but obviously don't want to apply for an SVA
yet.
btw: my MNR has its VIN stamped on the aluminium scuttle panel which is glued and riveted to the chassis. Not welded at all.
