I'm looking to compile a list of all the known locations of the chassis/VIN/engine numbers on the Nova.

The reason being, I'm going to look at a repaired CAT C Nova on Saturday and it has no V5c. Its marked on the DVLA website as needing a VIC Check so I want to make sure that all the numbers match up with the details on the HPI check.

I think it would be handy as a sticky as well as a nova buying guide, unless there is one and i'm just useless :)

a VIC check on a Cat C is perfectly normal. If its had a new front end, make sure the VIN plate is still attached to the front slam panel (where the bonnet locks onto the panel)
