Chassis number

[cavbow]

Hi all i'm in the middle of buying a westfield sei.

The car is just a chassis and a body.

Alot of work i know but will be worth it when done

The only prob with it is that there is no chassis plate with it as the owner has never had 1.

Wot will i have to do as it aint got 1.

Will post some pics up later

Be very careful       copies of chassis do exist     might be the only problem but it is a major one  

It should still have a chassis No stamped into a couple of chassis rails front bottom cross member and top angle member - check these with Westfield

wot if everything is all fine with it can i get a new number

If it ain't got a genuine chassis number that clearly identifies it as a Westfield - walk away      

Chassis plates can be lost at times ................. however chassis numbers are always stamped into various chassis members - no numbers = potentially troublesome - how are you gonna register it for road use SVA, MOT etc etc

would you buy a tin-top without a chassis plate and number

shoodunt b a prblm getin a noo pl8 if u can proov 2 westfeeld that u own the chassis.

Could be a stolen or even written off chassis.  Westfield won't recognise it as a Westfield and you'll probably get less money when you come to sell (presuming you can SVA it).

I'd walk away.
