Honda UK Dating cert
AshimotoK0:
Thanks for replies ... I was away with very poor signal so couldn't reply.
I tried the Facebook VIN to reg. service you told me about Julie but he drew a blank on both frame numbers. :(
I applied to Honda UK today on the best of the two frames and we will see what comes back ... fingers crossed.
I'ts a no find ...no charge service, so if they draw a blank I will apply for the second, but not so nice condition frame.
Incidentally ... I also came across a really early (must be 1st month of production) CB250SS (K0) frame (lovely condition) and matching crankcases with a few more parts available. Not interested myself, as I already have three, but if anyone knows somebody looking for one I can ask about it. Beauty is that it has a valid V5C with it.
MrDavo:
I tried to get a dating letter from Honda UK for my CB750, they told me to get lost as it wasn't a UK bike. I wrote to Honda South Africa but they didn't exist then so had no records at all.
In the end I got a letter from the VJMC which did the trick, I did the same for my CL450, which came with no paperwork other than a note of the NOVA number. The dating guy at the VJMC wanted photos of the completed bikes, as well as photos of the frame and engine number stampings. What I don't know is how they'd go on if you just had a photo of the frame number and no complete bike yet.
On one hand you don't really need a reg until its finished, on the other hand there are records in workshop manuals and websites of what series each frame number falls into, and when they were made.

I've used VIN to REG, very good service for little cost. If there is now record - no charge. If there is record you get the reg number and can apply for a replacement V5c

I tried the FB service one Julie recommended but they had nothing on it. :(

Yes I used them with good results but as said - only if the reg was transferred to the computers back when DVLA went that way, age related plate time :( which I've also done for a '66 Triumph I built from a frame.
In that case your original question is the way to go. I got a dating letter from Honda UK for a CD175 which DVLA accepted.
