February 23, 201610 yr Do any one know if Whitehawk frames used the following I D, letters on there frames SABTVR followed by 11 serial Nos, this is a mystery as for years this was believed to be a Hi Boy Frame but not according to Sammy he said all his frames started with SM, so do you know of any frame maker who used these letters , S M Products say it looks like one of his and so do a few people , the previous owner was under the impression it was a S M frame and he owned it for 20 years, Any help will be much appreciated . Cheers. Ps The bike has a V5 with frame No starting SABTVR.
February 23, 201610 yr Don't know if this will help or further muddy the waters, but the following is from a kit car forum I sometimes use. I have just had my SABTVRO VIN number allocated by DVLA.It is the normal start to the VIN for cars that have chassis/body shell modifications or are new build.I don't know if the normal meaning of the numbers applies in this case.
February 23, 201610 yr Author Petert, Thanks that has solved part of the mystery , I did think it could have been part of the problem the dvla issues this for regesteration purpose . No you have not muddied the waters, So it's looking like it is S M frame but there is no sign of the Sammy Miller frame No . Maybe it's under the riveted on plate which contains the Vin No. Thanks mate for your help Cheers.
