These cars tickle me. Particularly the reaction in some circles.
The chances are the guy has simply used a left over RN body that someone has taken off what would probably have been a viable restoration project to make a special, or another pretend Ulster. The bodies come up often for sale, and generally cheap as chips.
Its not that unlikely that someone on here may well have the very car and are currently enjoying open top motoring in it. It could be off the chassis I've just bought to build a tractor out of.
I bought such a body, never did do much with it and sold it to Duncan. Who knows could be this one?.
As for registration numbers and the DVLA. Let me tell you they know nothing about cars or car registration. So long as the numbers stamped into a chassis match the numbers on the v5c they are as happy as. Same goes for recovering numbers. Pre 1988 documentary evidence linking the number stamped in the chassis (or plate) to a registration. If you have it youll get it. If you havnt, you wont. Quite simple, its just a tick box excercise. Nothing at all complicated or hard to understand.
The plethora of 'vauge' V5s out there helps the hot rod builder to a huge degree.
I recovered a number for a 1906 steam engine not so long ago. It had been in a museum for 30years. I had the neccassary paperwork, all the numbers matched. No mickey taking, its straight up what I said it was. Filled the forms, blah blah blah. Happy days, got the number, V5c in the post to the owner etc. Then the imbeciles sent a letter wanting back 'tax' to 1906!.
I can tell you the letter I returned (cc to the secetary of State) drew their competence into serious question, given that vehicles such as this were not required to be regiatered until 1921, indeed it was the date of first registration I had specified in the documents provided. Imbeciles
