Re: [T3] VIN plates

[Russell Wolfe <russella@netins.net>]

Early Type 3's had the VIN on the windshield post. If you dont have one, the
dash has been replaced at sometime, or it has been removed frome the post. Just
to make sure, check the one under the back seat. If it is a '69, the 3rd digit
should be a "9". Like 319 (fastback) or 369 (squareback). The one under the
seat is the legal one.
