i thought this for my mgb it was registered 26/4/1978 , the heritage certificate showed date of build 11/12 april 1978 and date of despatch 17 april 1978 , the problem for me is that i brought it to ireland before it was 30 yo but took it to be reregistered after it was 30 yo , they wanted 700 euro , i got it done for 50 in the end , good luck,rich
