i think; you don't need a vin plate at all. you just need the vin number somewhere on the car. i thgink if you wanted you could just scratch it into the wing.

could be some changes to that rule, with the advent of the computer MOT - check with an mot tester
when i took my daily driver in for mot in January - tester wrote down the number from the vin plate to enter it into the computer - then said to me ' no vin , no test'

Someone just shot the elephant in the room.

as long as you have the vin number theres nothing they can do about not having the vin tag on car built before 81 that said any mot'er can refuse to mot any car at their own discresion

Most MOT testers have put the Amazon's chassis code (ie the bit that says it's a dark blue '67 estate with a red interior) into the VIN box on the certificates... Looks like they will have to get it right this year

Also I think every car I have ever bought that has come from the a salvage yard has had their vin plates removed, before I have bought them and these have then been took for VIC checks without any problems.
