Registration history of a Traveller

[don58van]

Hello from Australia

I have recently taken delivery of a Traveller that came from the UK earlier this year. It is a 1970 model, Smoke Blue.

It has apparently been off the road for many years. It is in dilapidated condition and I will be busy for some time getting it back on the road.

Now, I know that some members seem to have access to DLVA records. I assume that the DVLA must allow public access to certain information.

I am hoping that someone can check to reveal when this vehicle was last registered for use on UK roads. Any other information available from DVLA records would be helpful too.

The registration number is VBH 741J

I would be grateful for any information in this regard.

Thanks

Don

You can download form V888 from this site and for a fee of £5.00 get (not the best)photocopies of all docs they hold on microfiche records

Thanks very much Mike and Dave.

I suppose I'll have to post pictures in the restoration section so you can see the progress.
