unofix Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 I'm not sure what DVLA do these days, but when the age of a vehicle could not be determined for what ever reason they used to issue a plate with the year letter "Q" Since the current style of number plate has been in use we no longer have year letters and the Q has not been used. Do you know what the cars orginal VIN / Chassis number was when left the factory ? I used to own 4 diffrent Escort Mk2's back in the 70's & 80's. I seem to remember that the end 8 or so charaters of the chassis number was also stamped on the engine block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulkp Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Does the VIN end with two letters then five numbers ? I think the two letters give year and month, what are they ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
