Hi! I am looking for an S2000 - have always wanted one and have now saved up enough - does anyone know if the UK cars were fitted with VIN stickers as they were in the USA? Ten of them on various panels - I have looked at a car yesterday that had no VIN stickers, so it got me wondering...Thanks a lot.

The VIN is stamped on the chassis (just at the firewall), and on the birthcert/plate fixed to the front cross-bar (in front of the radiators). Later editions also had them visible from the windscreen, I think. I don't recall seeing it ten times on different panels...

Thanks a lot...i guess it may be a USA thing then. All the same, a good idea as it helps identify any cars that have had panels replaced and other potential concerns.
I just turned down a car that did not have any stickers...although there were other reasons i was not wanting to buy it as well.
Thanks again for your reply - be keen to hear from others to see if their car has the VIN stickers i mention?

The US cars have the stickers with a bar code and VIN on the bonnet, the boot, both doors, both side panels, wings, front bumper and rear bumper - I have none of these on my UK 06 car.

I do have chassis numbers on the plate on the front cross member, on the firewall and visible through the windscreen.

UK cars don't have them

Seems like that is my mystery solved
