Guys, I wouldn't count on official sources, at least not in this country! I
once bought the remains of a BMW motorbike, said to be a 75/6 (meaning 750
cc engine, series 6) which, after restoration, was admitted on Dutch roads
in 1999 by the Dutch Ministry of Transport as a 'type 75/6' bike, year of
manufacture 1974 (which was the year the engine was built). Trying to sell
the bike years later to a Belgian private person he refused to accept the
bike as the frame number of the bike belonged to a 60/5 type bike,
manufactured in 1970, and he could not get the bike officially registered in
Belgium. I went back to the historic dept of the BMW factory in Munich and
obtained an official letter from them, confirming the bike's type and exact
date of manufacture. I am still fighting with the Dutch authorities to get
the bike certified as a 1970 type 60/5 - I fear because they then have to
admit they goofed way back in 1999. Red tape!
