How to get a chassis number from dvla

[jason 82]

Ok, I had my chassis number come through from dvla today, the numbers are really weird. My number starts : dvlaswa ! How weird, I thought that there was a formula to this stuff ? anyway, to my point. If you require a chassis number, write a short letter about the car, similar to the one in the amendments, and post it to their new office :

VC15A/MASET
DVLA
SWANSEA
SA6 7JL

This is the direct address, they take about 6 weeks to reply, so don't panic. When they send back your chassis number, they also include all the forms to get your creation on the road, without speaking to 10 different people, with 10 very different answers. I hope this is of use to you all !
