Anyone know why the date of first registration is in 1984? |

It's probably been re-registered after a period off the road. If you can provide evidence of the original registration (e.g. log-book) the original number can be re-issued. |

I'm too slow.... .gif ";)") I'm guessing the car was rebuilt from a very bad state and the original registration lapsed. You can reclaim a registration for a vehicle if you can prove its engine and/or chassis match, relatively easy for a Bentley where records are likely to be good. -- Last edit: 2008-05-05 20:35:38 |

Not to worry, Sunbar, I'm getting used to answering this one: it's at least the third time I've done it .gif ":)") |

@bexix - welcome. Are you Rebecca who supplied info to http://www.vintagebentleys.org/carpages/cx7579.php ?? Do you have any pics you can post of what it looks like now?? And we have it listed as owned by "BLM", but nothing I can see to explain why that's been entered or who BLM is/was - maybe your grandfather?? |

Thanks :-) Yes I will do so now. Ah I made an account before to do this but forgot my password and couldn't log back in so I made this new one.. sorry! BLM is me :-) |

Do I welcome another member of the BDC? Mine’s only a scruffy old R-type, so I’ll be suitably humble! -- Last edit: 2018-06-28 15:45:41 |
