yes i noted that number is different to the one eurocert used, and that is one of the numbers they have questioned, but i think the main error is the variant and version number, but they are now insisting that the COC comes from the manufacture either UK of France, and not An independent so i think i will have to get one here; as cost !!!
least it will have correct codes / numbers on it
re the colour change, yes im sure all is above board, the condition in general of this van is amazing for a 2010 model, yes it has a few scratches, but the underside, inside rear, cab, outside, engine, dry of leaks etc, steering nice with no play etc, it has been looked after; perhaps as you say, the owner requested it after the build was complete? but whoever did it sprayed everywhere , no overspray on any stickers on the vehicle; in fact i would say they were taken off and renewed , like the constructor stickers in the door frames etc, so im not overly concerned , just curious!!
i will see what comes back from dvla and let you know
but your right, it is a lovely colour which is why i bought it
any idea how i can get the staining off the grey plastic on the quarter bumpers?
