Gaz6002 Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Awesome. I can see a VW tuner buying it, and fitting an S3 turbo lump and 4WD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Wouldn't that still go down as a 83 plate? The plate designation is done on year of manufacture of the shell isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Wouldn't that still go down as a 83 plate? The plate designation is done on year of manufacture of the shell isn't it? Na goes with registration. Saw a 2002 escort cosworth a few years ago. Your reg documents will say "Date of first registration". The reason why some of our cars get later plates is the DVLA folks get confused with "first registered" and "first registered in the UK". How do you go about buying a car and not registering it? Is that legal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 A couple of overnight parts from South Africa.... Seriously, they still make them over there, even with a nice newer style dash:) http://www.autoblog.com/media/2006/04/VW-Citi-Dash.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that legal? That's good if correct, but I've seen on the DLVA registration docs it asks for the chassis number and year of manufacture, not registeration date. Maybe it's the wrong form to look at though... I guess this is either a shell that's been bought direct (most OEM's can supply them at any stage provided there is stock), or one that's been bought for use in a museum or motorsports company years ago.

Scott Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Just had a look at the ad. Didn't realise it was just a shell. Not sure how that all works. With regards to the Cossie I seen a few years back it was in a showroom. Didn't have any plates on it and had never been registered. I went in for a look with no intention of buying. Asked a few questions about it before the salesman got the jist that I was just in for a nosey. It didn't have 1 mile on the clock and it was up for £23k. He said that when it was registered it would get the mark of whatever year it was registered in. Kinda makes sense, but I know where you are coming from. If you think about it a lot of chassis are made LONG before the car is ever registered so if its good for a year or so, I guess its the same rule for 20 years As I say though, I have absolutely no idea how one would go about this. I only seen it in a showroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that legal? Pretty sure it'll go down as an '83 as it says IT WILL BE GIVEN AN AGE RELATED PLATE AS IT HAS NEVER BEEN REGISTERED. So wouldn't 'age related' mean it'll be registered due to the age of the car, ie 1983? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems to be their opinion of it all. Doesn't explain why you could buy MKIV astra's with newer plate's than MKV's though I'm thinking either it works differently, or the seller is just guessing/assuming. Edit: Think about it. How can you have the car as being registered in 1983 when it hasn't been registered before? If a car has never been registered, never been ran and never been on a road then it is... IMO... new. Until that car is built and registered it would be considered a new car IMO. Obviously it's a rare occurence but it makes no sense to me to have something called a "register" that you pre-date the information onto.

RobSheffield Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Dont like the 'call but dont email' part at the bottom. Isnt that a sure sign its a scam/stolen ebay account? Seems to be selling a car, then a shell, then it has steel wheels to move about on, so must have hubs etc.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
