Hi IAN,
You are half way there.
With a modern V5c and an Ulster body you can get it on the road, but the v5 will still say saloon.
We are yet to see what the DVLA does about that in the future.
If you want it legal it's not so easy.
Even if you go by the rules and deserve the changes to the v5. The DVLA are understaffed to put thing right. And putting the paperwork right can be very stretched out.
Even for something as simple as changing the taxation class from not eligable to historic can take an age.
The thread on this got very strung out, and complicated. Just like the DVLA themselves.
Tony.
