Title: USA import to uk
Post by: Dasilvafox on October 31, 2013, 20:02:51

I awaiting delivery of my 1970 pagoda next week from USA and just completing the revenue forms

I have data card 4 and have checked the technical pages

I'm confused as I need the chassis number and not sure where to find it,if it has one or indeed part of another number

I need country and date of fist reg,this is not completed on data card and it does say this is only a requirement in Germany,this is however a USA car

Any help is useful

Many thanks

W

The chassis number would be on any documentation you received from the seller; in the USA this would almost be required on a Title, Registration or Bill of Sale; never seen a car change hands legitimately w/o it.

The number can generally be found, if intact, on a data plate on the driver's side door jamb, and sometimes on a little tag stuck between the front windshield glass and gasket.

Here's one example:

Many thanks for the reply and I've now got it

I have no paperwork personally as the importer has all this,I think !

Thanks

Hi Michael,

I've often wondered what the "8" stands for in the Model shown as ----> *280 SL/8* on our data plate in the door jam/ Do you know?
