To get your BMIHT certificate, there are a few ways to do this.
First Mail $40 cash, personal/cashier's check (or cheque as they spell it), or
a Mastercard/Visa/Diners/AMEX card number to:
British Motor Industry Heritage Trust
Archive Department, Heritage Motor Centre
Banbury Road, Gaydon, Warwick CV35 OBJ
Or you can fax them 01926 641555
Or you can call them 01926 645074 or 01926 641188 (this is what I did)
If I remember correctly you dial 011 44 first before these numbers if calling
from the US.
The information they want is
YOUR NAME & FULL ADDRESS *
NAME TO BE ISSUED TO*
CHASSIS NUMBER *
MAKE*
MODEL*
ENGINE NUMBER
BODY NUMBER
ANY OTHER NUMBERS
DATE OF FIRST REGISTRATION
REGISTRATION MARK
*required
Basically, the more info that you give, the better they can trace it.
I got my certificate in about two weeks.
Good luck,
Patton
