FWIW, when we visited the British Motor Museum quite some time ago (I =
think in 2004), I paid a visit to the Heritage Certificate folks there.  =
They were at that time located in a kind of out-of-the-way room in the =
corner, (perhaps upstairs?).  There were several people working the =
room; they seemed knowledgeable from the brief conversation I had with =
them, seemed like nice lads, and I ordered a Certificate on the spot for =
my 1961 TR3A.  It arrived some weeks later, and was quite accurate as to =
dispatch dates, numbers, etc.  I was quite pleased with it.  Just my =
experience - YMMV of course.
