Good morning to you all. I have recently imported an ex South African Airforce Colonels vehicle . It is in show condition and I need help in registering the car as it was registered to private use in 1993.
It is of course a historical vehicle and I want some idea when the car was produced for the DVLA please.
It has the nine digit chassis number which ended in 1979.

Does it have 8 numbers and 1 letter at the end and does the first 3 fall between 901-965...

Very nice looking LR.
I had a 1979 2.6ltr. station wagon in the late 'eighties & retro-fitted a Mk 2 P5 engine; same block that just drops in, but what a difference in performance without a fuel consumption penalty.
This variant of the S3 is becoming very rare, take good care of it

The problem you have is proving build date as that will be stumbling block re DVLA regarding SA imports...
