68 Austin Healey Sprite VIN location
My neighbor is attempting to purchase one in Riverside. Seller claims the VIN was removed years ago for a paint job. I had a local cop friend run the plate and there's no record on file. Anyone know VIN locations?

Vin plate should be on the left inner door jam area on a data plate if I am not mistaken if it is a Bugeye or early Sprite.
Hope this helps.

A VIN plate would be fine. It's my understanding that it has been removed. We have a trailer reserved for Monday and I'll bring it up to the house and have a look see. Possession is 9/10's of the law, right?

How did this work out ? .
I don't know where the VIN is stamped into the body proper but the owner's booklet or FSM will have a clear picture is exactly where .
Was the car any good ? not too rusty? .
I like early Spridgets .
