Hi Tim,

Mine too had the 19 digit VIN...which was fine with the VOSA SVA (ah...those good old days!) but when we came to register the vehicle with DVLA he noticed I had 2 extra digits. I expained that the last 2 were just the year of chassis manufacture (05 in my case) and he was happy. WHen I suggested that I could overstamp / grind these out so as not to confuse testers in the future he told me in no uncertain terms to leave well alone....a tampered VIN plate is a real no no (for obvious reasons)

HTH

Rich
