robhybrid Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 As I have loads of landrover parts kicking around I fancy using some of them to build a landrover on a budget to put on the road. A year or so back I bought a pile of bits from a breakers yard with the intention of using the chassis to repair my bent offroader. The pile of bits consist of:- front and rear 300tdi axle. 300tdi engine block. 300tdi chassis. 300tdi bulkhead. Have got on the bulkhead and on the chassis the vehicle chassis number,I guess if I look hard enough I can find axle numbers and a engine number. Would it be possible for me to apply for a v5 given the limited information I have. I seem to think the heritage center? or somewhere used to keep a log of chassis numbers and could inform you to the age and registration number for a fee is this the case for a 300tdi? has anybody got a useful link? buried in the front of the bulkhead were numerous business cards and I am in the process of seeing if I can find the registration number.

Guest noggy Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I assume for the vehicle to be in the breakers yard that it will have been scrapped on the V5 document, therefore i imagine getting it unscrapped and registered fairy difficult if not impossible. Probably the best idea to buy a rotted out old 90 and use that identity, plus it'd be a very good donor vehicle for the remaining parts!

GBMUD Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 ...or of you prefer the legal route you could always get an SVA test on the completed vehicle. The ringer is the cheaper and easier option though, in the short term. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I have registered a couple of cars with no registration, from scrap. Depending on the category of scrapping / writing off you should be able to get a registration back, although it won't be the one it previously had. What's needed to do this will vary from an MOT & rubber stamp at the DVLA office to a VIC to potentially an SVA. Your best bet is to speak to the DVLA.

lrfarmer Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 as FridgeFreezer sead give DVLA a ring with the chassis & engine No. see if there is any reson you can't put them back on the road CAT right offs if cat A thay can not go back on the road or be sold for speares, cat B can't go back on the road but can be used for speares, i think! i did look in to buying a right off to use my self but got confused and gave up at the time.

FridgeFreezer Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 This was my experience - they got bored and sent me a V5 without any checks at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Woodward Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 If you know a friendly motor trader who has a account with HPI they can do a HPI check from the chassis number. That will tell you the reg number. You could then do a vehicle enquiry on the DVLA website and see if it still exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Mate of mine baught a Vauxhall Nova rally car, and wanted to put it back on the road. It had been used offroad for years and didnt have any documents. He phoned the DVLA with the VIN and asked about ordering the V5 for the original registraton mark etc, and was told they couldnt look up the original registration mark from the vin!!!!, all he could to is re-register it, and it would be issued a new V5 and VRM. Not sure how far he's got with the process though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
