I bought a bus last year in the UK, that had been imported there from Australia. (Imported back in 2003/2004)It's registered as a Jan 1956 under VIN 17009. (I think the original colour was dove blue, it was blue at least when it was imported) all import paperwork show the same 170009 VIN
I am currently restoring it and have found what I believe to be the chassis number, which may not have been visible before due to the build up of paint and general crud - chassis number 159215. ( meaning it's actally a Dec 55)
I gave done a PPSR check on this number and it's come back as being clear. Is this sufficient?
Are there any other checks I should do?
Anyone know the history of this bus? Previous owners, pics etc. I would be keen to get in contact to fill in some of the blanks.
It's an 11 Window Microbus
Cheers
I read it on samba, so it must be correct.
Sometimes Volkswagen dealers sell spare parts. Amazing isn't it!😂
Will revscheck give me any more info, above what the PPSR check has given me? Apart from releaving me of $25!
I thought REVS was free? I
Futue te ipsum!!!
That link allows me to input the chassis number, then asks what type of vehicle before informing me that a PPSR cert is available ($25 please!)
I have already got a PPSR cert from the Aus.gov website for $4!
I assume it's the same?
Revs check is free. Just if you want a certificate it costs.

Ok - so the result of the check looks like a tick beside the chassis number - no other info. Does that seem correct or am I missing something?
Does the PPSR just check if it's a stolen vehicle or does it do a finance check too? If there's a loan linked to the vehicle then that'll be an issue.
madness is in the eye of the beholder 👍
