British Bikes / Reclaiming Registrations (SH - Berwickshire)
« on: July 21, 2007, 09:24:32 PM »
The Bike: BSA W6 500cc sidevalve single Reg: SH4040
The Year: 1932
Paperwork: Vanished
The Story:
BSA Owners club website say registration records are presumed missing or destroyed for Berwickshire.
However I started digging, and the Kithead Trust have the card indexes for SH1 - SH 7041. But the entry for SH4040 doesnt contain a frame number (aaargh)
I kept digging. Berwickshire has gone through a number of border changes. The Northumberland Museum at Woodhorn claims to have the register of indexes for Berwickshire. However I then got a phone call saying there was no entry present for SH4040. I dont really understand how this could be, and will phone again next week. Attending in person is not easy (Im near Bristol).
Ive emailed the library section of the VMCC, but in the meantime, does anyone know anything that I could try, particularly if there may be any other sources of local records that I could research?
The bike is virtually complete in unrestored condition. It has both front and rear numbers, and I suppose I could get the damn thing carbon dated but we are dealing with DVLA here arent we?
Im not getting an age related plate without a fight first.
Many Thanks
