    It's on the R/H side of the frame just under your right heal, if it's not there it's probably stolen. Frame numbers don't rot/rust off as you see on the ebay "numbers fell off" or "rusted off" or even knocked off when I put the frame in the back off my van etc!

    might be stolen recovered, so who knows when the frame number was taken off, or it might be painted over if it was recessed numbers. is the v5 in your name. as DVLA would recognise a stolen or written off number when reapplying. there is no different number or any signs of tampering with the number on the frame, so most likely is the frame on the log book

    I'm not familiar with the typhoon as Marsh is but heres what piaggio say.

    Piaggio Scooter Models

    Beverly BV Hexagon MP3 Fly Typhoon X9 Vespa

    The Piaggio scooter frame VIN numbers and VIN data plates are usually located under the seat at the rear.
    The numbers are usually stamped on the cross member of the frame and on newer models can be easily viewed through a clear plastic cover.
    There is often a tamper proof data build sticker affixed to the inside of the seatthat will also list the VIN

    On earlier scooters the numbers were often stamped onto a metal lip under the seat or into the body at the rear near the wheel.
    Engine numbers are generally stamped into the engine casing
    in the area where it joins the rear wheel.

    and DVLA will only accept stamped by authenticated piaggio representative, as in garage. how you go about it might be strange. just read a story about a BMW who's garage had authenticated the vin but didn't have the tools to restamp, and advised he had the work done by a body shop
