Even without a visible chassis numbers, there are mechanisms to allow for this. You get a club to date it based on its features, which to be fair is easy as on an Austin 7, and it gets allocated a date as per the youngest component. Then allocated a DVLA generated VIN (which has to be stamped on - sometimes by some approved 'garage', - sometimes inspected - and sometimes any old numbers obliterated). Then an Age related plate is issued.
Even if the body was new when the car was restored, I would bet that there isn't anyone in the world who could accurately date a 10 year old body once the paint is on it.
I also cant believe there is no engine number, if its been ground out, I'd be very surprised there isn't a hole in the crankcase!.
Did anyone actually lay eyes on the car?
