I sympathise ref reclaiming an original registration.......long time ago I failed with a Nippy spare body I have in spite of having the little Vin plate and enough of the old stick on number plate to work out what the original number was. This was going to be built up with A7 parts to be a running car. If anyone wants to have a go I still have the body with windscreen frame.
I am just going through my paperwork to update various cars (Barn find condition) that I have to get their registration documents up to date and entry errors rectified. Very stressful for an oldun....especially for those with a V5 (not a V5C) which I have found I never did update my address when I moved and the threat of fines for not updating keepers address. The amount of gov.uk notes on "how to", "what can be done" etc is staggering and often rather vague and sometimes seems to be contradictory.....with many "links" taking you off in all sorts of directions leaving you still none the wiser.
1st try to change taxation class of current Nippy to historic....gov notes say can only take registration document to post office and they will send it off and you will receive new reg document showing Historic under tax class........my Post Office said could not do (I had the V5...not V5C). Eventually got through to a human on the on line chat to DVLA facility and he said no need to update to Historic as it was already automatically recorded as being so; he said he would send me a new up to date registration document.......I await with bated breath.....so still hope to get to Moreton in a legal car.
If only the powers that be would let us get on with playing with our toys......just as long as they were safe on the road.
Who cares if someone is prepared to splash out lots of money on a rare vehicle made up from bits of one car split up to make 2 rare cars...apart from the shame that a genuine car has been split up.
PS. My sense of humour....at Moreton.....visualising lots of people walking around wheeling front/rear axles and announcing proudly "here is my 193? supercharged works racer!!
