International Vintage Volkswagen Forums

Just been on the phone to the DVLA and they tell me that if I write a letter in to them stating my cars chassis number they might be able to tell me what the original reg number was. Then I can apply for it back ( as long as its available ).
I rang up on the off chance but didn't think it was possible.

Anyone ever heard of someone successfully finding out this way?

I always thought you needed proof ( like an old pic or document ) then a letter from the historic club.

Its a UK 1960 right hand drive sunroof BTW.

Thanks.
