Hello all,

In 2020 I imported an old Lamborghini tractor.

As part of getting it road registered I need the year of manufacture.

Now I could just approach a club, but I used to write these forms and DVLA typically want you to 'show your working' on how you got that date.

Whilst there is a chassis plate on it, the year isn't stamped on. They stopped doing that about 1963.
I've approached the current owners of the tractor arm, and their records start from 1970.

I have the old registration number, from Italy. Would getting hold of a copy of the v5 equivalent tell me the age? Is there an alternative oiption?

Any help would be apprciated.

SJC

Nice idea, but it is before VIN numbers became a thing. So I have a chassis number, but it is just a number, i.e. 20010

Does the VIN itself help? Maybe one of the decoders on the internet?
