Hi,
I am buying a new vin plate as i intend building an rs2000 1979 from a shell, how can i tell if my logbook is a german or uk built car and if it should be black or dark blue as the supplier needs to know.
cheers Neil

Ring Ford and ask them to break the VIN down for you

Ah the joys of car identification swapping. Lol
Ring ring! There’s a hell of lot of classics out there that no longer have the VIN they left the factory with. My uncle has a good few green tax books and VIN plates sitting for 70s Fords from when he was breaking and restoring them 25/30 years ago, remember it wasn’t too long ago boys were selling the likes of that on eBay, sometimes for big money depending what it was!

I don’t understand how it’s so widely accepted. Just cause it’s older etc. Would you do it on a year old car without getting slated? People openly advertise it etc, openly sell chassis plates and books etc.
