Does anyone knows someone does work there and has access to the Triumph data?

Depends what info you are after. The Heritage Motor Centre, now called the British Motor Museum does have good access to a lot of factory records and other useful information. I'm unsure what access they have to factory drawings though if that's what you were after. You can certainly visit the archive collection by prior arrangement.

A visit from Holland is possible but not within time. I did contact the museum and wait their response but in NL the Dutch DVLA does not accept the certificates to identify a car. I need some pictures of the actual original records that have the chassis, gearbox and enginenumbers and all other details. There was too much messing around with the certificates in the past so i need more.

In NL the chassisnumbers need to be in the body also and the early Triumphs had them engraved in the paint only. And engraved like it was done by a five year old. Later they did stamp unremovable. After time the engraved numbers dissapeared by paint damage and rust or respray's. This particular car, a Stag had somewhere in time the engraved number replaced by a stamped number for visibility. Now there are two numbers, one home made and the engraved not completely readable anymore so there's no identity.

What i need is a certificate and that's easy but also pictures and photocopys of the original documents with the car's data to proof the certificate is genuine and has the right numbers on it.

You would need to speak to the archive department who may be able to help. They do have a lot of build records, although some are missing. They usually charge per hour for research, so best contact them to see what the cost might be and explain you do not want a certificate.
