Re: Austin Seven Ruby-Registration BOV 551

Hi Keith,

Unfortunately Birmingham (OV) were one of the many local authorities that destroyed all of their registration records when the DVLC now known as the DVLA was set up in the mid to late 1960's based in Swansea. So sadly there's no way now of checking who were the first or subsequent owners of your parents car.

Presumably you've no relatives or family friends remaining from that time that could throw some light as to what your parents eventually did with the car?

If you happened to have an old log book for the car that showed its Chassis Number, you could check that against the A7CA Chassis Register just incase it's either lost its original registration and been given a new 'age related' one or if the car has been exported and now carries foreign plates - the Chassis Number would remain constant.

Jeff.
