There is no VIN per se, they were created in the 1980's. Your option plate has the car's features.

Typically, the 60's and 70's cars have the chassis number in the format:

NNN.nnn-XX-YYYYYY

where NNN is the chassis type
nnn is the model version
XX is for left or right hand drive and for auto or manual
Y is the serial number.

These guys are very good
