As you know I have several 140s and 164s, all sharing the same VIN format as yours down the door pillar, ie model/exact variant/chassis number. However, none of my current cars have any more than the chassis six-digits on the V5 - my 144 V5 is right next to me so easily checked. I do seem to recall my next project 164 has the full number on the V5 but can't check as its at my sons place: perhaps it now costs the DVLA per digit now!?
Surely you don't need to tell the DVLA how to do their clerical job, but my query - what was on the Finnish paperwork which has proved to be the stumbling block with them?
