Factory Records

It's always fun to hear about the "factory records" that classic car guys find for their cars.  Since Triumph went out of business in the early '80's I didn't have much hope of finding such a record for my Six.  Imagine my delight / surprise when one day on the 6-Pack forum someone mentioned the "British Motor Industry Heritage Trust" !  It seems this organization  had collected all the factory records, and for about $70.00  would do a search for the VIN / Chassis number of your car. They  send a very nice certificate with all the details of how and when your car left the assembly line, and even the name of the ship on which it came to the USA.
My sweet wife took the certificate for my car to our local frame shop and had it professionally framed, so it now hangs on the wall next to my desk.  Very cool !




Here is a closer look at the details on the certificate.
