Vin #. Everyone knows where this is located (2 locations)
Engine #. Location?
Frame #. Location?
Just curious. I'd like to know all 3 of my numbers. Going to check for them next week during my main contact with the car for the whole of the year.

I'd love to know where my engine number is, as my car apparantly had the engine
replaced in the US around 1989.
I've also never been able to find my frame number - mebbe I'll spot it when I finally
do the frame resto on my car in a few years .....

Engine number, difficult to see but it's just above and behind the 'cat' very difficult to see when the engine is in the car.
Frame number more or less opposite on a plate welded to the frame.

Find that if you fire your mobile phone camera off in that area, that works. The frame numbers are quite large, sometimes welded direct onto the chassis and later stamped onto a biggish plate that welded on.

...Just as a follow up, I found my numbers, and got photos of them. So here they are for reference of what people are looking for, in case they don't already know...
First one is the Chassis number and the second is the Engine number.
