Archives/Registers for VIN-History in Tennessee

#1

Post by DeltaElite »

Hi,

my 1962 FLH was bought in 1990 in Mattoon Illinois by a German importer who brought it to Germany. When he bought it it had a Title from it's last registration in Tennessee.

Upon registering the Bike in Germany the original US Title was withdrawn by the local authorities.

Is there any State Archive or Register in Tennessee, where I can find out about the previous owners/history of that Bike? Or any old State Police data?

Possibly.
Can I have a picture of that plate?

That is a Missouri tag, not Tennessee. I can't help with that....

Thank You. You see, this is what happens when people recall "facts" from 30 years ago. But after all i'm lucky that the importer still knew something at all.

Maybe someone else can help?
