Date of manufacture

Does anyone know if it is possible to check the date of manufacture from the chassis details?

Thanks.

L.O. Colin.

Thanks for the link to the decoder.

I wanted to check on a van I am looking to buy which is '73 reg. There's always a chance it could have been built in '72 or even January '73.

I believe 31st Jan. '73 is the cut-off date.

Unfortunately the decoder does not give the month. It just says 1973.

Do you of any way to pin it down to the month?

Thanks,

Pete.

As I understand it, as from April 2014 the VED exemption will be up to 31st December, 1973.

Hi Pete

I don't know of a way of getting the actual month of manufacture. I assume it would be possible going by the chassis number part of the VIN but I've no access to those records

Thanks Colin.

Thanks also Leatherwalnut.

I hadn't realised that the exemption was to be extended !

Means my original question will soon be redundant.

A follow up on this.
Contact the Vauxhall Heritage Centre. If you provide them with photos of the engine number vin plate etc they'll send a dating certificate showing exactly which month it was made. Don't forget that if it's an original conversion there's likely to be a few months before it actually got registered and it's the manufacture date that counts.
See http://media.vauxhall.co.uk/media/gb/en/vauxhall/heritage.html
I spoke the gent at the bottom Andrew Boddy and he was extremely helpful.

I have posted about this before but I can't find it. I'll ask the mods if some of the message board has been deleted or archived.
