Is there anyone who knows how to access records for N.Z assembled zephyrs. Mk 3 Zephyr were built with a stamp on the left front inner guard /scuttle area. it denotes the year and the build number.There must have been records that show what chassis number/engine number go with the build number.

I'm sure back in the day the rego/ownership papers carried the engine number and chassis number. That was a reason that the Registration Dept neede to be notified about an engine change. I'm sure the "Registration department in P.Nth. will still have records on all the previously registered cars in NZ. It's worth a go sending them an email especially if you have the old Number plate(s) that belong(ed) to the car.

Highly unlikely there will be any information available, even more so if the car was deregistered prior to 1994, when the register was changed to a new computer system in 1996 they did not bother transferring most of the records over for dead regos. If you bang the plate number into.Carjam and it comes up No Record found then the info is gone for good. As it is the MVR is notoriously incomplete and inaccurate for older cars.

I have the number plates ,have car jammed and have the same engine number. but. the only chassis number mk3's had is on the alloy plate.The alloy plate is gone.The chassis number on car jam is the same as the ownership papers,which i have. L.T.S.A say without the plate "you're f. ked " their exact words. Hence trying to tie the build number. which is stamped on the car. to the chassis number.

Might be a long shot but worth a sending Ford UK an email with your query.

go to your local signwriter and get him to make a plate then stamp on the number and fit to car, all done!

Just what I was gunna suggest. There is someone that does it to look proper. Rub a bit of dirt on it, and Bob's ya uncle.
Not if you want to put the car back on the road without going through the LVVTA Certification Process , then it gets very expensive ! They are a very good rip-off company .
