What I know - For what it's worth: Your vehicle must comply with the law at the time of it's manufacture. Modern cars do display the VIN in the windshield. Early Triumphs ( to at least 1965 - my youn

Being a 1963 model, your Vitesse is fortunately exempt from the majority of US emission and safety requirements, including having the VIN visible from outside the car. You'll have plenty of other ha

Leon asked: The display of such plates began with the 1980 model year. There was no requirement for visible display for vehicles manufactured before 1980. You will not have to do anything to your 196

Andy, Yes, now that I recall, you have it correct. A 69 TR-6 I owned had the visible VIN on the drivers windscreen side but non was needed on the 68 TR-250s. 1980 was the start of the standardized VI

My '64 TR4 does not/never did have that. That requirement came in in the '70's, I believe. I've never had a problem. Being an Army officer I have lived in New York, Georgia, South Carolina, North Car

Just like the external VIN plate, I believe your car is exempt from the closed crankcase requirement due to it's age. Even the valve seals are probably not required, unless the smoke is really bad.
