Confused about Donor Vehicle
saigonij - 25/4/07 at 04:07 PM

been reading up about the kit car registration etc...

I want to understand about the donor vehicle. All the major components i took from a single donor vehicle. I then had the car scrapped, and i sent the V5 off to the DVLA to tell them it has been scrapped. Can i still get an age related plate saying that i got the parts from teh above said donor vehicle? will i need the v5? should i not have sent this off to the DVLA?

Would have been better had you at least kept a copy of the V5 & also the vehicle plate, but providing the engine no. matches the Swansea records would have thought you should be ok. Do you have a receipt with the reg no. on?

i have the number plates, and the VIN plate from the donor car. Plus i have a receipt for the parts with the number plate on.

alternativly, i am about to strip another sierra, so i can always hold on to that sierra v5 i guess, and put that in my name and sorn it.

Believe you should be ok with what you've got, if you strip another Sierra & use that V5 you'll need to use that engine if you want to get the points from it toward your age related plate.
