Hi All - keen to get dealer stickers, tax disc and number plates from the original supplying dealer added to the car - would anyone know how I can find the original supplying dealer for a 1982 928 S ? Could I call Porsche UK and find out via the chassis number ?

Thanks in advance

Post up the first 3 letters of the plate ,someone here will know where the car was registered ,which regional

DVLA office it would have been registered at.

That might narrow it down.

Assuming it's on the original plate.

Usually stamped in the front of the service record / handbook.

OA was in fact Birmingham so could call a couple of dealers there to try and find out who sold Porsches then

ETA Newton Garage in Birmingham are now known as PCT Cars. They were Porsche dealers in the early 80s so might be worth a call. Good luck
