Thanks for the advice, chaps.
Hedd, the issue I have is that the car is shown on record as an AG Tourer, which it obviously isn't, the chassis number is one from Feb 1932, as is the date of first reg, the engine number is one from towards the end of 1932 and the car is a later AH Tourer with rear tank, generally regarded as a post-September 1932 model.
I need to have this registered in France on a "carte grise de collection", that's a special vintage/classic vehicle logbook which means you don't have to have the French MOT on a regular basis, and don't have to pass stringent modern day emissions tests, not to mention modern brake tests, steering play etc. The French are very fussy on the paperwork, and if I have noticed the year/chassis/model numbers discrepancy, then there's a good chance that the organisation who verify the authenticity of the paperwork and the vehicle probably will.
Wouldn't be an issue, really, if I lived in UK, but I don't, so it is... paperwork. I want to make sure everything is order on the UK side of the Channel otherwise it'll cause problems on the French side, possibly rendering the car an unusable, expensive ornament.
