[British-cars] [TR] BMIHT Certificate Quandry

[Geo & Kathleen Hahn]

T&C --

As noted, the BMIHT certs can contain errors.  My understanding is that they 
are reading a microfilm of a 3x5 card that traveled down the line with the 
vehicle -- subject to grease stains, tea stains or whatever -- and may not 
have been all that legible in the first place.

Took 2 tries to get mine right as they had obviously misread one digit of 
the engine number (3 vs 8).  When I contacted them about it they gladly & 
promptly send me a correct copy.

Of course there is only so much they can do if you cannot determine what the 
correct data would have been.

BTW -- Heaters were often removed after production (possibly by dealers) 
when a car was shipped to the tropics.
