it. Was it through the Vintage Triumph Register? Or am I on the wrong track
here? And was there a concensus on the list as to if one could pay by credit
card, check, or...?
Any help will be greatly appreciated, >>
Michael,
I think you are referring to the Production Record Certificate available from
the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust (BMIHT)
They have a home page at http://www.ipl.co.uk/MG/heritOOa.html
Contrary to what their home page says, they WILL take a Visa card.
The cost is 20 english pounds ($31.21 when I did it in May) You can phone,
fax, or snail mail your request to them with your name, address, car comm.#
and credtit card # and the certificate will be in your hands in less than a
week. It's a nice looking certificate and will show complete information
about your car as it left the factory (right down to brand of tyre) as well
as the date built, date dispatched, and distributor it was shipped too.
Their address: BMIHT, Academic Services
Heritage Motor Center
Banbury Rd, Gaydon
Warwickshire, CV35 OBJ
United Kingdom
phone: (01926)641188 fax: (01926)641555
Cheers !
