This can function as an information tool to help us help you with your SVX. For instance, you may have a car problem but the year/model of your SVX was not stated. It would be simple to look this up in the registry.
It can be used to track the status of the SVX's and determine how many are still on the road vs. how many have been totalled or parted out.
The link to the registry page is:

This form is flexible where if you feel that information should or shouldn't be tracked the form can be updated.
If you make an error when submitting your information simply resubmit with the correct info and the previous entry will be deleted. |
Thanks David
This is a good idea.
You say the form is flexible. By that, do you mean that the form does not constrain you to enter data in all fileds before allowing submission, or do you mean that if a further need is identified, the form can be extended to have more fields? Or contracted to have less fields?
The reason I ask is because of experience I have with the Matra club along these lines. To ensure you know that each vehicle is "real", it is necessary that each respondent supplies a unique identifier. This obviously is the VIN. If the VIN is not supplied, as the list builds and ownership changes, there is no way of determining for certain that you are still dealing with the same car, and duplications
will happen. Such as two members putting in a car without the VIN; the first member describes it as Claret, the next member describes it as Burgundy. With no VIN, and particularly with different names, handles or addresses, it will look like there are two cars, when only one exists.
My other point is could you put in a
field for the paint CODE, because people tend to call the colours different names, eg Black Pearl, Ebony, Ebony Mica, Black Mica etc etc, again leading to confusion and profusion. And ask for the trim code too, while you are at it.
