Hi again - and there is the Mantis :-)
Yes there is a registration office for motor vehicles (like the RDW) in Norway, and this is called "Biltilsynet"
I can check with them if it's possible to find the reg. number based on these pieces of information.
The document that I guess you.ll be needing is what we in Norway call "Vognkort" (the card of the wagon/vehicle). This will give the information needed to have it transferred to a new owner.
If the Marcos was registered on Norwegian license plates at some point in time, it would be possible to get that confirmed from Biltilsynet and possibly have them issue a new Vognkort where there is a space for the owner to sign it off as sold/transferred to a new owner.
You state that the owner passed away - but was it the family that sold the car to you?
Even if they didn't have the Vognkort at the time they would have to request a replacement and sign it over to you.
And it is also possible that the car was never registered in this country - that Mr. Halvorsen imported it but never had i registered. Then it is more difficult, if the family doesn't have the foreign papers for the car.
I'll do som checking and see if I can find out something.
Regards
Geir

Hi again Wim
Have now received a reply from the Norwegian vehicle registre and they could not find any trace of the chassis number / VIN.
The said it might be easier - if the car was registered to Mr. Halvorsen in the Norwegian register - to find it if they could search on the person. But only the address was not enough - they would have to have his first name and person number / sosial security number.
It may also be possible that he never registered it in Norway. I have imported two GRP cars / projects myself that are not finshed yet and therefore not registered.
Good luck further :-)
Geir
