My PO was having problems with getting Calif. to register and creating a VIN tag was the solution.The little gal down at the DMV very nicely gave me the paperwork for my “1952 MG Dutch”They have no idea.

Just making sure Joe!You know, at the end of the day, the local inspection facility staff will have no idea what a CMC VIN plate is “supposed to look like.” Sounds to me like you can mock up what ever you want!

Thanks, LRH this may be the solution to my issue. Could you tell me the overall size of the plate?

Thanks, Paul yes I definitely processed through the Foreign Titles division of Trenton motor vehicles. They scheduled my inspection at one of their three authorized inspection facilities. (Westfield, NJ) on June, 11 2015.

are you coming to town for the gran prix this year ?
Paul Mossberg replied to the topic Format of CMC VIN plate needed in the forum General Discussion 9 years, 9 months ago

Have you been dealing with? A local agency or Trenton?

Here’s one I found ‘net searching, it’s a Gazelle. Maybe the same style, replacing the name with MG TD?

Thanks Paul,

Since I had no access to the original Chevette VIN, NJ said they would have to “re-VIN” the vehicle. When I contacted them how the process was going I was told that since the kit manufacturer had a VIN number on the Certificate of Origin document, we would now need to locate this kit mfg.

I have a Classic Roadsters Ltd. serial number plate on my TDr. Not sure if other manufacturers provided anythign similar.

But NJ DMV (now known as MVC) did not use that number. When I built her back in 1982, NJ DMV used the VW Beetle donor car VIN. I cut the VIN plate off the dash of the Beetle and riveted it to the TDr body.

I know. That didn’t h…
