My little Super Dexta was first registered in the Uk on February 1 1964 and bestowed with the reg no 852 kcb. Is there any way the original owner/farm could be traced ?
The tractor emigrated to Ireland in 1976 where it had six previous owners in the south east before I purchased it in 2013.
If you write to the relevant county council (which ever Manchester is these days) and ask their archivist to look up your reg (say it's your dexta), they should be able to tell you date and first owner and send you a copy of the entry in their register. Likely cost you £10 or therabouts.
