Looks like it's a commission#, not a VIN.
If you're looking for the VIN (the UK one will start with SAX....), it'll be either stamped on a tag and placed in the engine bay, and/or stamped on the drain rail of the bonnet/hood below the windshield. If it's a Jap spec model (the Jap VIN will start with 99X...), it'll most likely have a separate Jap VIN stamped into the boot/trunk floor (just found this out myself).

.
Simple recipe for Excitement:  Take 1 Classic Mini. Throw in 1590cc's of engine. Add 5 gears. A dash of 94 octane. A sprinkle of style inside and out. Toss in 1 MadMan and finally heat tires and pavement to taste. Recipe produces 1 Mini VTEC conversion and full satisfaction. Motor on!

I have a 71 Mini with a tag welded to the rail above the radiator.  Does anybody know what this means?   The tag is  2 B20S 050240A.
