    HOW TO FIND VIN DECODERS Jan. 07, 2009 This document contains the file names followed by motor vehicle manufacturer’s name for a great many of the VIN decoders received by NHTSA since the VIN regulations went into effect on October, 1980. It is not intended for amateur use, and as such is not equipped with the graphical user interfaces that main stream “www” consumer Internet sites are designed with. To use it, using your computer keyboard, hold “CONTROL” and tap “F” This action will bring up a query field. Only use one or two words of a manufacturer’s name when performing this search. It is best to use the second name of Chinese manufacturers as their first name may be a Province. Using the “find next” key stroke, go all the way through the document until you find (and record) every file name associated with your manufacturer. Manually type ftp://ftp.nhtsa.dot.gov/mfrmail or just click on this hyperlink. Hold “control” and tap “F” to display the search screen again allowing you to enter the previously discovered “file names.” Double clicking these file names brings up images of the manufacturer’s VIN decoders.

Geoff Dudley Above: A convoy of Government Car Service vehicles was sent to Geneva in 1955 to provide transport for a ‘Big Four’ conference (of Great Britain, France, USA and USSR). This view is believed to have been taken en route in France. The cars are of Humber manufacture, mostly the Hawk VI model, but also include the larger Pullman or Imperial models. On 5 September 1939, just two days after the Ministers, from 78 to 13 (some cars are also declaration of the Second World War, the newly allocated to senior Whitehall officials).

  • October/November 2017 1967 2017
    1967 2017 Journal of the Traditional Car Club of Doncaster October/November 2017 1 Editorial Dear members, The seasons move on relentlessly and the days are getting shorter. Doesn’t stop us though, full house at the last club night, we have lights and windscreen wipers and laugh at adverse weather. Despite that, many will take the sensible option and will be looking to put their classic to bed for the next few months to protect it. Whatever other precautions you take, leave the handbrake off and don’t let a low charged battery freeze otherwise you will be regretting it next spring. I hope that many got out and about this summer to the various shows and runs that were on. I didn’t get to as many as I would have liked but always saw club members there. Anyone who has a club badge in the screen gets a hello, should be a club rule. Our club runs have been a lot of fun as cars start in front and suddenly pop up in the mirror a bit later but all have arrived safely and had a story to tell of missed turns and wrong exits. At least members got lost in little groups, so I suppose that counts as a club event as well. Thank you to those that take a lot of time to find a route and destination, do the maps and direction sheets, then check for roadworks etc just before we go. As one who just turns up for a good run, I appreciate their efforts a lot.
