[*]Type Approval Number
[*]Variant
[*]Length
[*]HC (g/km or g/kWh)
[*]Unladen weight (kg)
[*]Max Net Power (kW)
[*]Technical Permissible Maximum Towable Mass of the Trailer
[*]Width
[*]NOx (g/km or g/kWh)
[*]Max Permissible Mass
[*]Power / Weight Ratio (kW/Kg)
[*]Euro Status Directive Numbers (i.e. 1999/102A/EC, 98/69/EC)
[*]Cylinder Capacity (cc)
[*]CO2 (g/km)
[*]Mass in Service (kg)
[*]Particulates (pm)
[*]CO (g/km or g/kWh)
[*]HC+NOx (g/km)
[*]Stationary Sound Level (dB(A))
[*]Engine Speed (min-1)
[*]Drive-by-sound Level (dB(A))
Some of this stuff I don't even know what it means so maybe some of the engineers out there can help.....

Re: Certificate of Conformity - Anyone have details?
If you drive an ACVW you are obviously a non-conformist. Sorry, you have no chance of obtaining a certificate of conformity.
Maybe try someone in the UK who has imported ACVWs before???

I think you might be looking at the import docs required for a modern vehicle. There is a different set of docs for old vehicles.

Eben, I think you are right.....I have been trying to reach out to DVLA to understand. I just wondered if anyone had original details around the cars.... like width, length and weight. I'll have a look at my manuals, problem being they are all still packed
