Heritage Certificates

The Archive of the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust preserves the surviving records of some of the most famous names in British motoring history. The Archive department offers the proud classic car owner a Heritage Certificate which is a certified copy of the entry against the chassis number in the authentic factory ledgers. Discover the original numbers and colour scheme, dates of build and despatch, and where available, the details of factory fitted equipment.

A Heritage Certificate for your classic car makes an ideal Christmas present! Demand for this popular service has been extremely high this year so to ensure delivery by 24th December, applications need to be received by Friday 26th November 2004 at the latest.
