Hello to all and HELP!
My son bought an ex-British Series III 109" WB a couple years back. He received a bill of sale but the previous owners never sent the title. Although he got it licensed in Virginia as a farm vehicle and did not need a title to do so, he wants to sell the vehicle but needs a title.
Below find my efforts to secure the title for him.
Vehicle Description: LR Series III, 109 Inch Petrol Basic, VIN #:SALLBCAH1AA/160678
We have obtained a certificate from the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust verifying that this vehicle left the factory on 24 February 1982 and was delivered to the Ministry of Defense, Central Army Depot, Ashchurch,UK.
We have been told that the vehicle was surplused to the Canadian Ministry of Defense, no date and we have contacted them to determined if true: where, when and to whom they disposed the vehicle to.
We did receive a bill of sale and have a copy, not a certified copy, of a Montana title belonging to the owners that my son purchased the LR from. From here it gets weird.
The couple who owned the LR and sold it to my son had it titled in Montana as an 1972 LR with a VIN number as follows: 25900682A.
We are in need assistance in helping us trace the history of this vehicle. One question is why was it titled in Montana as a 1972 LR and what is the 25900682A number. Thoughts; could Montana typed in 1972 by mistake? Is the 25900682A a reference number applied to vehicle by the British or Canadian Ministry of Defense?
Does anyone know where we might find pictures of a 1982 LR painted for the British Ministry of Defense?
In advance, thank you all for any assistance you might provide
