In complete honesty, being in the registry will hopefully be of no value to you. We keep that so there is a record of where coaches are and who the current owner is.

If the coach will never be lost, stolen or sold, then there is no concern at all. As is, I can call the man that has the registry and ask for the owner of any VIN I come across. This is a help if someone I know is buying a coach in a closed sale. Someone known to me may be able to supply some history that has importance. It is also nice to be able to tell a perspective supplier that there are X-many coaches still in use. There were two incidents that I was involved in. Both were sales from estates. One was picked up by an acquaintance at way less than current value because I was able to offer an informed opinion as to its true condition. Another was just the opposite. The heirs were convinced that they had valuable item that was not. I was able to advise a buyer to pull back.

It is unlikely that the moderator of anybody else will chime in. We are currently in "Sandbox" which is a section that is left open for people to try out posting and look at how the sigfile publishes. Most members never even look here,

and the e-mail readers can even see it without opening the forum with a browser.

Well, I have work to do and other people to annoy.
I wish you luck and I do hope we meet at a convention/rally at some point.
