There isn't/wasn't one. There's a body number (I think - a saloon expert will tell you where in a minute, if there is ) and chassis number ( http://www.morrisminoroc.co.uk/index.ph ... sis+number ) though. The VIN is a nasty modern thing - "A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN or chassis number) is required on all vehicles first used on or after 1 August 1980."

Look on the bulkhead somewhere near where the throttle cable passes through. The six digits at the end of the chassis number should be there (on some cars anyway ). These denote the the body number, the other letters and numbers relate to the model type.
Older and more confused than I could ever imagine possible.

you can see it in this picture, next to the wiring loom on the bulkhead, you can see a bit of blank metal
It is not very clear, but the best I could do

You should find the number stamped in the floor panel just in front of the drivers seat. Well, my '70 2 door does anyway.
I think this is the secondary spot only, there should be one on the firewall somewhere.

It looks right to me. From memory,
M= Morris
A= A series engine
2S = 2 door saloon
5 (not S) = series five Minor
D = Deluxe
The M on the end, not sure - might be (built in) Morris Cowley.
Your car is number 1245237 (started at 501). It was built in February or March 1969.

Woot. Best year for Morris Minors, quite definately. The next thing to do is to paint it Trafalgar Blue; then you'd be able to join the ultra-exclusive Traffy Blue G reg register...
