I want to claim road tax exemption on my Ford Capri - how do I find the build date for proof?
I need to prove the build date of my Ford Capri so I can claim road tax exemption. Unfortunately, unlike British Leyland products - there doesn't seem any obvious way to do this. Can you suggest any way of proving a vehicle's build date?

The car's VIN number will carry that information - you can double check this here: www.fordwiki.co.uk/index.php?title=Build_Date_Codes. This might be enough to qualify as build record. The DVLA also suggest an extract from the appropriate ‘Glasses Check Book’ which lists chassis numbers. These are all out of print, but photocopied extracts are available from some museums, such as the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu.
