Is there another chassis number there?
My vin number is located where the steering guard is along the lower edge. When I bought mine, I removed the guard to check the number before passing over the cash.
Tbh I am not sure, I was more thinking to see if the chassis metalwork had been fettled with in any way, ie welded/ground/polished etc, hence my suggestion to look inside the chassis for evidence of welding.

Nice looking motor and it’s not going to be seized, result. Update your details with dvla and thrash it

now the stolen vehicle team would have checked all the axle,gear box,transfer box engine & chassis number.
If the numbers not there they would use an acid etch to find them or any trace of them.
Now if you are going to DVLA you may need an SVA inspection for a number plate
did the engine number match the V5?
No engine number on the V5
As far as I can see, the chassis number in the front rhs wheel arch looks as though it has be ground, which I did show to the police.
yeah, but I will say I am no means a mechanic, I brought the vehicle as I enjoy field sports and have used and enjoyed its capabilities.
As far as I know they start with SAL which this does not.

OK, well that sounds very strange. No idea on what it should be.

Series 2 vins are all numbers, not sure on series 3?
I phoned Paddocks and gave them my axle numbers. They told me they were off a Discovery 1
