Ford VIN numbers are often stamped into the driver or passenger floor under a plastic flap by the sill or in front of the seats
A build plate showing the VIN number can be found riveted to the body in the engine compartment or in a sticker format on the driver or passenger door post
Later Ford models will have a visible VIN number that can be viewed through the bottom corner of the windscreen.
