Heritage Certificates for Rootes Cars

Get the specifics about YOUR car from the factory

Rootes Archive Centre has access to production records to most models of Rootes cars from 1939 up to the end of 1962. You can purchase a certified Heritage Certificate showing the factory build details for a car as it left the production line.

The information includes the chassis and engine number, vehicle type, colour, date of build, date of despatch and which dealer it went to, any factory fitted extras, and original registration details (date and place of issue) subject to information available.

RAC also supplies a “Car Details” sheet which can be displayed at shows. This will contain similar information in a bolder format but without the owner’s address or other private information.

As well as the Certificate RAC can provide copies of relevant technical information sheets and other appropriate material like a period advert for that exact model (subject to availability).
