Out into the light. 2

 Greetings. It is 'I'. Albert C. Let me finish the tale of Norman ooowooo's release from the cellar. There's no reason to suspect he didn't enjoy his time 'Darn tha' coal 'ole. Plenty warm enough, what with Mum running the heating flat out during the winter months. The radiator pipework distributing boiling water inches just above his head. Cosy as toasty.  But...the time is nigh, Norman ooowooo you are at this very moment the star of the show. 

I'm gonna get ya oilyragged, source some parts that look late 50's period  and get ya presented in front of 'The Committee'. Aye, the big powers that be.....head cheese's at D.V.L.A. Those that have the say in whether or not ya a genuine enough looker to get replacement registration documents. (Original papers lost in time before we knew ya, along with any detail of what your number was.) 

Having no old documents that place our Norm in time or place means he will be reassigned an alternative number. A period number relevant to his age. That's ok by me. If there was trace of the old registration number on him then archive searching through County Registration records may find clues but quite often it's just adding 'fookin about for no reason' to the job.

First..a need to look complete and ready for the road. Then pictures of frame number, engine number, both side pictures will get the paperwork trail kicked off. Sending them along with the required fee to an approved organisation will hopefully get a date of manufacture certificate.  That's what I'm gonna do.....but....Hang on ! wi not up the steps yet.....Crack on Alb..

This is remining me of TV vet programmes....Ya know the ones where the farmer has to get reet darn't birth canal to help wee bairn oot...  here's oor Norm coming up the passage wi a bit of help from mi'self.  Ready ta pop oot inta't leet. Blimey, with al't pushin' 'n' shovin' it's makin' me write in Skirtish?  No way....I'm from 'The Shire' Yorkshireshireshire. Ya'll never take that ar't of mi.

Here's Norman ooowooo fresh up then ther' steps. Paintwork shining in the light. It's now time for home old chap, a good looking over and let's see what's needy.

Keep looking in, checkin' on progress and of course a few of ya Uncle Albert's diary thoughts thrown in for good measure.  T.T.F.N.
