Steven Adams Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 So I have got my heritage certificate back and still don't have the registration number. But interesting it went from the factory to the engineering company that made the bluebird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 Does everything on the Heritage Certificate match up with the reference numbers on the car and other documents that you have? You might also want to continue this on your original thread to keep everything together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Adams Posted August 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 Yes apart from the engine number I now have the original number for the engine it looks like it is the original engine that has been rebuilt and stamped again as I can see some of the original numbers underneath. But I thought I would get the registration number on the certificate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinR Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 The Heritage Certificate is a record of the build, and where it was sent for sale. It would not normally include the Registration Number as this was allocated when it was sold, not when it left the factory. The next stage is to see if the dealer that received it from the factory us still in business and see if they still have their records - with a lot of luck you will get the reg number that way. The other thing to do is to track down the paper registration records from the area where it was sold and work through until you find the correct chassis number. Some areas kept the old archives some don’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Adams Posted August 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 Thanks for the advice. I have checked the business that no longer exists but I will explore the paper registration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinR Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 Steve, you may want to send a private message to Forum Member "heraldcoupe" who has extensive experience in the Herald, and tracing details from local licensing office records. @heraldcoupe should be able to give a few pointers about who and where to contact to access the records from the 1960's and early 70's.
