Try asking this group about a handbook:

Chassis number is on plate by door on my ABI Cricket, second line down. It also seems to form part of the CRIS registration etched on the windows - if your van is CRIS registered.

I expect the number second line down on your van is the one. Just checked mine, top line says Cricket 3.80/2 (model) and second line has 11 digits combination of letters and numbers and then a space and then 6 numbers.

Hi
Mine has its chassis number stamped into the A frame just behind the hitch as well as on the plate by the door.

I recently had to phone Swift and quote the chassis number and was told it was the Cris number.
