DVLA and Change of Body Style
#26
Over here the rules are pretty well defined and published, and accessible via the web.

The difficulty is when advice is sought on forums like this, advice offered is often out of date, or plain wrong. Which compounds the problem when the original poster has often not researched the problem via the proper channels and has not read the easily found information.

Over here the DVLA rules have generally remained fairly stable for some time, but there are always nuances and interpretation changes which are pretty fluid sadly. The dubious business of making high end ''vintage'' (sic) cars on newly manufactured chassis buggered the whole job up for everyone when the DVLA finally cottoned on and this is the root cause of many of the fairly recent problems over here.

On another note, and in line with some advice I have given earlier in the thread, I note that there is a bloody awful, though complete Austin 7 2 seat special body currently on the bay of E. Its awfulness I am sure will be reflected in a low sale price. I note that it is in Bromsgrove (its not mine BTW)

If I were hoping of building a special on any sort of chassis that required the body type amending. This would provide a cheap slave body that could be quickly and cheaply mounted on the chassis to mock up a special so as to apply for a body change or perhaps a V765 number recovery (e.g substantially complete). Doing it now means that you can get the paperwork in your hand, before you spend a fortune making your dream car to find you loose the original registration or worse, find that it cannot be registered.
