Someone will be along to correct me, but I think if you contact someone here, they'll be able to provide you with the relevant documentation.
 
Seems like Robert Freeman is your man ............. http://www.vintage-register.co.uk/dvla_dating_service.html

The ID plate on the headstock should tell you the basics, if still in situ - R26 or 27 for sure. A classy little bike back in the day, but plenty of vibes & kick from the engine - mine was a 1956 R26 ex-W.Germany, with sidecar lugs on the frame.
 
I’d be wary of the bmw club. I tried to get one a few years ago, a chap in wales took my money but I never received anything. Thieving c&nt!
 
Robert Freeman via the BMW owners club.
Seem to recall it was £30 for a cert, or £30 to join and get the cert for free.
That was a couple of years ago.

All depends on the year of the machine,
For two of the bikes I’m in the process of registering I needed to obtain dating letters from Germany,
€100 each
 
Welsh, you say? Is that where the term comes from then? :aidan

The dictionary suggests.............

WELSH or WELCH - A related colloquialism is the verb to welsh/welch ('to renege') as in 'to Welsh/welch on a deal or bet', which may be derived from an age-old 'English' stereotype of the Welsh/Celtic peoples as unreliable oath-breakers, though that etymology remains conjectural.

In the dictionary you say, so it must be true. :beerjug:
