My husband has had this car since around 1970, he recently died and I need to re register it to sell. It has been in storage for 20 odd years. Problem is i can't find where the VIN # is stamped on the car. Do I have to completely remove the hood (bonnet) to find it?

This obviously is a XK120 Drophead coupe having entered the XKE data base. Can someone tell Barbara where to find the VIN plate, as I am not familiar enough with XKs?

This is correctly listed here as LHD E-TYPE 3.8 roadster 879070. The XK-120 DHC numbers Bill refers to above were from another car previously in the same ownership, and were entered in error. This E-type has now changed hands and will be restored.
