Regulations regarding specials
#21
If the vehicle retains enough original componentry (as defined at - https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-registration/...d-vehicles with a points system for main chassis/axle/engine components) then you can retain your original registration.

For vintage cars a different body is not considered a problem, as it is seperate to the original chassis and not load-bearing.

If you don't have an original registration then the best thing to do is get in touch with your local A7 club when the car is finished.
And then have it inspected by the club's DVLA liason bod, who will provide a report for your 'reconstructed classic' and this report can then be sent to DVLA with the appropriate V62 form to apply for a new 'age related registration'.

As long as your reconstructed classic used all Austin 7 chassis/engine components and has a body that is in the style/spirit of the marque and the era, then DVLA are usually compliant in issuing a new reg.

I have gone through this process with two different A7 specials, and have always found both my local club and DVLA very helpful.
