History of my TR3A

A question for the USA members. I have an ex-USA TR3A and I wonder what, if any, history it is possible to trace based on a) the vehicle's commission number and/or b) the number I have on a California plate which was with the car when it arrived in the UK.
 
Unfortunately not much, unless it very recently left California. The state deliberately destroys the records after about 4 years (I think it is) of inactivity.
 
Hi There Ceejay,

"Welcome" to "THEE" best LBC Forum anywhere on the planet.

Should you get a "Heritage Cert"; That will give you some background on your car.

Best Wishes,

Russ

Hello CJ

Randall is correct. However, the guys over at the Gaydon can provide you with the build information which usually includes the destination dealer or distributor. You can order a certificate here:
