"..bit more history..A633 SVW has had 11 previous owners, the original being Brentwood Coaches...spoke to a man down there who remembers the car and said it was a load of cr*p so they sold it pretty quick after a few months...they bought it brand new already converted from Trinoco Ltd of Chelmsford the local Ford dealers...according to DVLA records Trinoco registered and taxed it on 21/03/84 which is the same day as Brentwood Coaches are listed as becoming the the registered keepers...it must have been converted prior to this date...I'm assuming by Trinoco as they were Ford dealers and according to Brentwood Coaches had extensive workshops and body repair shops.. the site has now been built on.
Trinoco Garages have been taken over several times and are now Allen Ford and they have lost/destroyed all the Trinoco records
So I reckon Trinoco built (or had built) this car prior to 21/03/84...no idea if any more were built.
Is it possible to tell when the car was built from the chassis number?
Hope this sheds some light
