Hi Bertil
Ive just been going through these old threads
I have been trying to work out the KPU vins and it is very very hard work
KPU 384C originally had vin 59031C not 025 as you say ?
But most of the documentation held by Alan Mann has incorrect vin numbers
Most of the cars that were sold overseas went with different vin numbers
There race records and sales invoices all show different VINs to registration numbers
To be honest I think back in the day the registration numbers were just put on whatever car happend to be running well on the day.
I have records of all the KPU cars when they were 1st registered, I also have copies of Lotus cars entries when they went to Ford competitions dept. But when you get into Alan Mann paperwork all the reg numbers and vins are mixed up ?
I will get there in the end ? I do sort of have a record of the cars and where they ended up.
