VIN Numbers
Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2014 2:27 pm
Hello all,
The VIN number on the body plate of my +2 is different from the one on the V5 for my car. I am rebuilding the car and hope to have it on the road this summer. I have done some research on the DVLA site but am still unsure where I stand.
It states that a body of the same vintage can be be fitted and the original reg can be used. Am I reading this info correctly ?
When I bought the car the previous owner explained that it had been fitted with a new lotus replacement sub frame.
Is there any way to check the body vin number through the club?
I am concerned about where the body was sourced from, I would hate to think it came from a stolen vehicle.
