Guesstimate date of import from ZV no.?

fpm · 10-06-2009 6:16pm #1

Hi guys,
I'm currently thinking of buying my first classic car. I've found the one I want, and am on the verge of buying her. I've been trying to find out as much of the cars history as possible, to make sure she checks out.

The car has a ZV registration, and was an english import. Based on the ZV number, is there any way to guesstimate what year it was imported?

Thanks,
F

Well I have asked, and got an answer, but its no harm to try to double-check, is it?

The date of import should be written in the grey Registration Certificate under section (I)

In short,yes,theres quite a few on here that have a passing interest in such matters...:p

But as has been said,why do you need to know,as the reg document will tell you?

That'll tell you when the car was registered in this country, it could be over here for years on the original reg :rolleyes:

True,but theres no real way to tell that,unless you go by when it was last taxed in england maybe.
