Does anyone have a source for a blank Chassis Number Plate as used on an early BN1? It's about 3" X 3/4". Like this (if my picture works):

Sorry I can't help with a source, but would like to know exactly where this plate is mounted on frame as mine seems to be missing.

Basically down under the carbs, on the longitudinal frame rail, if I recall correctly. There should be a couple of small holes there where it was mounted, although they may be filled with crud and hard to find at first.

Mine was on the right frame rail, more or less center of the engine, take a light, a little hard to see otherwise.

You can see it on right hand chassis main rail. Mine is a RHD, not sure if that makes a difference.

glemon, if your 100 was built after September 1954, your car will have "unified numbers" that is Chassis & Engine number the same. The ID plate will be on the firewall adjacent to the voltage regulator.
