Regards Tony DVLA will re register a vehicle on an age related plate if you can provide verification of the year of manufacture of the Champ, contact the Austin Champ owners club, who could help. http://www.austinchamp.com/ Edited May 23, 2012 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbrook Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Contact the MVT verification officer. He can provide suitable verification for DVLA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Try the RLC museum to se eif they have the service record for the vehicle. That will also give age related info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulbrook Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 The museum will charge but they are pretty helpful. You will still need a verification from a recognised representative authority though (such as the MVT) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58 BE 88 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) Try the RLC museum to se eif they have the service record for the vehicle. That will also give age related info. The RLC museum doesn't have any service information for Champs. Someone at Chilwell many years ago decided that no-one would possibly want such information and destroyed all the record cards. They had certainly been destroyed prior to 1974. Unfortunately, the RLC museum levy a non-returnable fee just to look and tell you that they have no records of Champs. My Champ had a 1968 (F) registration and my local DVLA office were most helpful in assisting with getting a "dateless" number appropriate to 1954. They suggested that it had been incorrectly registered in 1968 with the year of application rather than the year of manufacture. To change it was free too! (then). The Austin Champ Owners Club is is registered on the DVLA V765/1 list of Vehicle Owners Clubs so can do your age verification. The vehicle number will usually indicate the year and approximate month of manufacture.

snort Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Shame, as the 69 registration is part of the vehicles history, that is it was the number given when in civilian hands after its Military use and part of the vehicles life. It is sometimes an indication of how long that particular vehicle was in military service. However it is up to the owner ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
