Not sure if this is the right section, but i'll try here first, if its wrong section please move to correct area, i have an old mk1 transit and the vin is proving difficult to decode, its in South africa but i want to bring it to the uk, but i don't want it on a Q, its to old for Ford to have it on their database, the vin is CS05LK23001805549, the CS i believe means built uk but assembled in South Africa, 05 i think means transit, and LK is feb 1971 ish, at a guess 23001 is engine number but not sure on last 6 digits or if they mean anything, the South African log book shows it was taken off the road for a while, then when it got put back on the road it lost its original date of build/registration, and this is why i want to verify what the vin says about the vehicle, can anyone shed any light on this for me, and/or point me at someone that could verify and does anyone know where i go to get an official verification that DVLA will accept. i tried the transit but they couldn't give 100% decode, its a different layout to the modern vin's,
