The Registries

Every registry, one place.

Two kinds of record live here. Parclines' own registries map a world of cars the price guides skip — woodies, fiberglass, dune buggies, campers, hot rods, coachbuilt bodies, replicas and EVs — builder by builder. And the marque authentication registries are the map to the factory archives and heritage trusts that hold the official record on your car.

Marque authentication registries

Who holds the record on your car.

Before a value, there's the truth of the car — the build sheet, the production numbers, the matching-numbers drivetrain. That record lives with the marque registries: the factory archives, heritage trusts and the great enthusiast registries. This is the map to them, worldwide.

270registries94official / factory7regions33honest gaps flagged

Parclines indexes and links to these registries — we never copy their records, and a registry authenticates a car's provenance, never its value. Where no authoritative registry exists for a marque, we say so plainly rather than pretend one does.

SAVVA — Southern African Veteran and Vintage Association

ZA · Rest-of-World
Judging body

Motor cars, commercials and motorcycles built before 31 December 1997 in/for Southern Africa. Classifications include Vintage (built before 31 Dec 1930) and Post Vintage (Jan 1931 – 31 Dec 1945). Nearly 50 affiliated clubs across Southern Africa

Verifies: The definitive African provenance instrument. SAVVA operates a uniform dating system that "ensures a true record of the authenticity of the vehicle" · owners are encouraged to have vehicles dated because it "proves beyond doubt the authenticity of the vehicle." Output is a standard Application Form, Certificate and Plaque, used identically by all clubs. The official Plaque or Certificate is the only recognised medium of proof required by organisers of competitive club events, and the documentation can also be used for licensing and insurance. It certifies the vehicle's date including separate chassis/body and engine years where they differ (e.g. a 1927 chassis/body with a 1929 engine is certified "1927/1929" and enters events as a 1929 · a 1917 frame with a 1923 engine cannot enter as a Veteran). Once dated, clubs accept the date without question · certificates and plaques are corrected if better information later emerges
