Well this ought to be easy enough! There should be commission plates and such on the car-and those numbers while they won't say "02/02/74" or whatever, do have a definite order and date the car. Ther

To answer your question Tom, yes it should be easy. To add to what Laura said, there is a chassis number (I think that is what it is called) it will be located on the frame outrigger immediately infr

Sorry... No commission number (except that off of a mk3, hence the DVLA insistence), no chassis number. I should have elaborated, but that is what I meant when I said in my original post that the doc
