thewerewolf, Thanks for the post.
I found the reference I was looking for in the Rover Workshop Manual RCL 0193ENG (5th Edition) Published By Rover Technical Group Limited, page 1 General Information, Vehicle Identification, "The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is attached to the RH inner wing valance. The VIN is also etched into the lower LH corners of the windscreen and rear window."
Where exactly is the "RH inner wing valance"?
Thanks

I read somewhere (trying to replicate) about the VIN (17 digit) being etched on the windscreen or rear window. I cannot find the source of this but I did find the etched VIN on my Mini. Have you located a source that shows this as a VIN location?
Thanks, Bill
Thanks, Bill

I read (somewhere) about the VIN on the Mini from 1996-2000 was etched into the windscreen and the rear window (low in the corner). I did locate the number but cannot find the article or POST that got me there. Has anyone else read this and if so where?
Finally got my Mini!
Finally got my Mini!

I seem to have finally identified my Mini, only one question: the sequential build number is 6-digit here, right?.

OKMini: "but isn't that a chassis number as opposed to a VIN "
Chassis number = VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)
Chassis number = VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)

Thank you all for your answers.
I'll try to find the numbers in the suggested places.
I also found this: https://www.google.com/search?tbo=p&tbm=bks&q=isbn:1847979904
Where this query: austin vin "a-as10"
gives the Austin 1100 Mk1 result.
So indeed, the plate seems to have been poached from another car.
I also have the commission number that suggests a Mini City, according to the guide posted here, and it reads B20S 792733A
