ghasp! Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Hi I'm trying to trace production dates and history of a Landrover 101 and FV1601 from their chassis numbers. I'm hoping to get them re-registered and back on the road. Is anyone able to help? Thanks, Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Brian tell me the chassis number of your FV1601 & I can tell you when & where it was delivered to the Army, the engine number, the receipt voucher number & the contract. Do you want just the info or a scan of the ledger? I can also tell you when & where it was sold with the lot number & sale number & possibly the selling price. Also the date it was struck off census, which is not the same as the sale date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghasp! Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 Hi Clive Thanks for getting back to me. The chassis number is 3142C, actually a FV1602 and we think the reg was 31 BK 42? Any info you can give me would be appreciated, I'd love to know the history. Thanks Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Brian 31 BK 42 was a Mk 1 Pig FV1612 sold at Ruddington in 1971. Yes they were still selling off Pigs to only start buying them back again a year later! So I wondered if your chassis number was perhaps 31420 as it should just have 5 digits. But the lowest chassis number starting with 3 was 32311 & besides 14 BK 20 was also a Mk 1 Pig struck off in Cyprus in 1967. Have you got an engine number? If that was original I could trace it back that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghasp! Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 Hmm, never as easy as you think. I'll recheck the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Edwards Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 hi there I've just brought a 101 and it's registered as 1981 on the document. I was wondering how do I get the actual build date and change it on the registration document to the correct year and then make it a historic vehicle.

List here the vehicle serial number and I'll look it up on the 101 Club records. To re-register as age related you will need a letter from Gaydon confirming the build date as DVLA can be rather hit or miss with accepting "certified" letters from the 101 Club, so best go straight to Gaydon anyway.
