LADS I THOUGHT I READ IN SOME FORUM RECENTLY THAT SOMEONE CAN INPUT THE CHASSIS NUMBER INTO A WEBSITE AND IT WILL GIVE YU ALL THE INFORMATION YOU WANT....IS THIS TRUE...CAN ANYONE SHED LIGHT ON THIS... TRIED AVO CLUB SITE CANT FIND ANYTHING THERE ON IT.....OR MAYBE I WASNT LOOKING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.....

[fordmad]

basically ill have to find that book if i want to find out the history of this particular car.......anyone with the book.....would they like to do a bit of research on it for me...alll help will be appreciated....chassis no. is bd4811977...was orininally registered as wvx 311f and then later re registered as cvg 48f

[Tim]

i think it won the 1974 RAC

[fordmad]

all i know bout it is that it was used as a test car before the works mark 1 car came out.......its not a type 49 shell because the works were all type 49...or am i wrong

Not a works competition car but with a VX reg could have been a production prototype?

[TimGR]

Neither the registrations nor the chassis number appear to be "works". I don't have Havoc X Files with me so can't tell you want the chassis number stands for.

So far as the "48" the early twinks, Nov 67 to March 68 were numbered 48, type 49 number appeared from around April/May 1968.

[TimGR]

Found the "X Files".

"BD" seems to be wrong.

The second letter should only be B, F, C or K.

@timgr
it came out in 67, chassis number is correct though.....all i know is that she was used a test car i.e. a prototype.....still very rare though in myt book...
what are the havoc x files???
