Vehicle Identification Number
I'd like to design and build my own chassis. Can someone explain what do I have to obtain a VIN in order to put in on the chassis?
Many thanks!

Perhaps when the local jobsworths can get their act together , some allow you to make your own , others don't

You can get a number.
I think you are about 2 years minimum from needing the exact information, so I'd just crack on with building.
Show us a picture of the chassis and we will tell you how to get the number.

Make up your own. ( fetches popcorn )
7.
The VIN number must consist of 17 digits. Nunbers or letters or a mixture. Do not use letter "Z", "I" or letter
"O" but figures "1" and "0" are ok
8.
The information must be shown in a single line. You should start and end with an asterisk so no numbers/letter can subsequently be added
9.
Capital letters and numerals must be used for the manufacturer’s name and VIN
10. There must not be any gaps large enough to insert extra characters between the characters for the VIN shown on the manufacturer’s plate or stamped
into the vehicle.
11.
Other than in the case of a Mass Produced vehicle the characters on the manufacturer’s plate must be at least 3.5mm high.
12.
The characters used for the VIN stamped into the chassis, frame or other similar structure must be at least 3.5mm high.
If you're not happy with this, go to your local DVLA office and ask them for one.

I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop anytime.

I wrote to my local dvla office and asked for one. Took a month but they did send me one with no fuss.

I think it's a good idea to include part of your name and post code.
