CNM 894 plate was issued late 1938 which matches DVLA info so is original number; plate info gives unknown/blank model with 650cc. DVLA details are: Date of Liability 01 10 1982 Date of First Registration 30 12 1938 Year of Manufacture Not Available Cylinder Capacity (cc) 650cc CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type PETROL Export Marker N Vehicle Status Unlicensed Vehicle Colour RED Vehicle Type Approval Not Available
