Vehicle Identity
One of the most important things to check when buying any car (especially a high value one) is it's identity.
Things to check
| i) | The chassis number on the log book against the VIN
plate under the bonnet and under the carpet next to the driver's seat (RHD cars) or the
passenger's seat (LHD cars). - |
| ii) | If possible check the engine number on the log book
against the 4-digit number painted on the engine block behind the dip stick (this number
may not be visible). The last 4 digits on the log book engine number should correspond to
the number on the block. - |
| iii) | Check for a stamped service book to prove a full
service history. At the very least you will need to see receipts for parts for any work
carried out. - |
| iv) | Check whether the driver's literature is with the
car. - |
If you have been looking at a car and would like to check the details against the Lotus Carlton/Omega register to confirm it's identity please enter as much detail in the form below and I will confirm the details if they are correct. I will not provide any details back to you other than to confirm the validity of the supplied information. To do otherwise would be security risk.
