Guys,

Anyone any ideas how to figure out the original supplying dealer for your car?

Want to try and trace a bit more of the history of my Rallye etc in my ocd-esque quest for originality. Would like to know about the supplying dealer etc. No idea where to start though.

Cheers

Hasn't got much s/h......think I've got the service book but CBA to look for it this time of night.

So how does the reg give it away? I do know some letter combos where regional specific. Anyone know anything about my car in terms of where it came from?

If you want to change the OCD up a gear, this doc contains a full list of the area identifiers used between 1903 and 2001 in the UK, scroll down to about page 10. Post-2001 area identifiers are different.

Take the 3 letters in your number plate (e.g. 'AFV' ), disregard the first one (the 'A' ) find 'FV' on the list, and it says it was registered in Preston.

Nope. I used to live not far from him in Brizzle and got various 306 bits from him. Did a quick search just now and couldn't see anything mentioned except that his last post was over 2 years ago.
