DVLA Question
Hi,
I have read the info regarding 're-body' regulations on this forum, which is very helpful. I know about the 8 point rule and the procedure the DVLA requires to retain your reg plates and historic vehicle status.
I have bought a donor and will hopefully start a build soon. My donor was not a complete car though, but only a rolling chassis, so the car was already stripped of the body when I bought it. I have the original chassis/body number plate and all the paperwork is correct and present. I also have proof of purchase from the garage I bought the rolling chassis from, ebay screenshots and the receipt.
However, I do not have a photo of the complete vehicle showing reg plates before it was stripped, which seems to be something that the DVLA insists on.
My question is, am I going to have trouble registering the kit car and keeping the original plates/historic status if I can't provide the photo of the complete vehicle?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Cheers,
Deni
