Dear Mr. XXXXX,

We are pleased to research data of your Volkswagen and to draw up a birth certificate with the recorded data regarding colour, date of manufacture, port of destination...

You can transmit the amount on our bank account

+49 - Details removed for security purposes....

Do not forget to inform us about the chassis number of your vehicle and the engine number. Because of data protection we are not allowed to inform you about the original engine number. However, we are able to proof if the engine number you will give us correspond to the chassis number of your vehicle.

Please inform us about the name of the vehicles’ owner and the complete address where we should send the certificate to, please.

We need approximately four weeks for the research.

New: You also can order a birth certificate directly about our internet homepage http://www.volkswagen-automuseum.de . There you can find the link “Urkundengenerator”.

The website is in English and I ordered the cert online paying with my CC.

We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

They will not be able to give you any info about SA-assembled cars other than the date of manufacture of the CKD kit.

IMO, not worth R350.

The 'Q' shows that the vehicle was either not originally registered in the UK and proof of age was unavailable at registration, or that it has been built using a significant proportion of used parts.
