Default VIN letter - Strange Response?

Sent a modified copy of Ash's letter to Peterborough DVLA and got the following response

I presume i use the number and ignore the letter?

James,

had the same sent to me, that will be your vin number to stamp into the chassis and ID Plate . Keep the form, i'm sure he signed it at the IVA station, then it goes with all the other gumf for registration application.

That would make sense then if they sign it at the IVA

Strange response as they do the final inspection anyway to check your numbers and donor parts.....

Looks like the numbers they used to issue to re-shelled and Q cars.

Would be interesting to see if you had it stamped at local garage and signed, if they sent you a log book.

hi
i was under the impression that you could make up your own chassis number as long as it was 17 digits long.
is this wrong? not got round to stamping mine yet but dont want to do it wrong.
i had figured on using my initials, dob, start and finish date of build.
thanks for advice.
hope im not hijacking post
steve

Haven't had a dvla inspection or anything, just thought It'd be better to get a VIN now, cos I can see it being awkward to stamp it on the chassis when it has all the engine in and bodywork on etc

James, I had the same style letter (also used the template from Ash). Must just be some generic response that they have. I stamped the number and just assume the VOSA man at IVA will sign it off. DVLA are pretty simple folk and writing a proper response is a little beyond them

Try ringing them. The automated menu is about 40 levels deep with 5 options on every level and never an option to speak to a human being.
