Car Birthdays

If you talk to Vauxhall heritage and give them the VIN ( number at the bottom of the windscreen, passenger side) they will be able to tell you when it was manufactured and will send you a dating certificate. Fred

Be quick though - Vauxhall Heritage are shutting their spares operations and transferring them to Germany, where the only parts available will be those common to Opel models. So none, then. I don't know what effect this will have on getting information like this (which seems to be the most useful part of Vauxhall Heritage). Apparently they have around 10,000 parts that thye're trying to sell as a job lot.

I have found out that my 1600 HB estate was first registered on 1st August, 1970. I have been in touch with the heritage centre in Luton and they are now doing the other reserch regarding when the car was built etc. They are also checking their reccords for all other known examples of an HB estate, just in case they know of some that we don't. If anybody knows of any HB estates dead or allive, but still in existance, please provide me with the details, as I am trying to compile a register of them.
