Grant Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 Just brought a Subaru E12 Libero / Sumo from Italy and it only came with photocopies of the original log book and DVLA say I have to get date of manufacture evidence from a vehicle owners club. Can anyone point me in the right direction as there seems to be no E12 club. Any help would be appreciated.
David York Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 Hi, The E12 I think was produced 1983 to 1993 it was replaced by the Libero 1993 to 1998. If you Google Subaru Sumo the vehicles full history is given. When I imported my E12 from Malta in May this year I was lucky I had original Registration document so managed to get its UK registration OK. Good luck Yorkie G
Tidgy Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 manufacture date should be on the vin plate even on a jap import.
Grant Posted October 16, 2019 Author Posted October 16, 2019 The vehicle was registered on the 14th November 1996. The problem is I only have a photocopy of the log book which DVLA will not accept. In fact I have all the paperwork but its all photo copies which they will not accept. They say they will accept a letter from an owners club, is there anyone on here who could do this for me or recommend anyone to do this for me. Many thanks

But just photo copies. DVLA Say they will take dating evidence verified from an owners club.
Jay762 Posted October 16, 2019 Posted October 16, 2019 Wotcha and welcome - I know when doing this type of thing for MX bikes I have approached a dealer as they can printout the details from their database. Is it worth contacting Subaru with teh VIN details and getting a printout from them?
