Vin
Interestingly, it seems that the requirements vary depending on how you ask the question and of whom. A month ago I decided just to send a letter to my local DVLA office asking how to go about getting a VIN. Nothing for a month, but this morning a letter arrived from DVLA Swansea containing my VIN! The letter suggests that when my vehicle was inspected (difficult since it has not been built yet) it was noticed that it did not bear a VIN number, hence the issue of same. The letter has a box at the foot requiring a stamp and a signature of the 'garage or dealer' confirming that the VIN has been affixed. It seems that in my case this will be the IVA Inspector. So, there you have it, yet another example to add to the pile. I suspect however, that this might be what to expect in future since someone, somewhere in the DVLA must be keeping track of these numbers - or is that too much to hope?
