Can someone find me a VIN number if I give them the reg?

Email Cotswold mate - I think the online based systems only work if you have the VIN

[ah]

Have you looked on here-

Sorted cheers, I don't think it is anything special but it may have survived body wise, might make an enquiry. Nothing ventured nothing gained

[Duke137]

Do any of you motor trade types have the ability to obtain a VIN number from a reg plate?

It is nothing malicious or anything like that I just want to find out the spec of a car.

It is an old BMW.

Cheers

With many doors!

[Duke137]

Bronze glass and a manual sunroof is as good as the options get, but given where it is and how long it has been there it may* have slipped off the tin-worm radar

*emphasis on "may"

The wood worms might have given them a call though if it's in a wooden car port!

Maybe if you offer to bareback the old dear she'll hand you the keys!

[Meatballs82]

I like how it says it was registered on 3rd May '83 but not manufactured until NYE '83

If you own the car you will have all your details?

Do you want to know the "optional extras" your car came with? (LSD, Air con, Leccy sunroof etc etc)

You need the last 7 digits of your VIN number to do this

[stu328is]

Yeah just wanted to know what options it came with, not got my vin here at work and didn't know it could be done from the reg until i read this thread

I'll get the vin tonight if it's easier for someone to do for me, if they don't mind obviously

[Duke137]

I will PM you a useful link stu.

By the way, you have to post your findings

[stu328is]

Nice one, doubt it's got any special morsels on it, i know it's missing an LSD

[stu328is]

I have indeed and the first aid kit hasn't had one thing opened in it scissors there the lot, you reckon the plasters will still stick?
