My dad was buying a mk1 Mexico off a friend that’s he’s known for a long time. This is 1 of 3 mk1’s the guy has, he rally’s and has done for the last 40 years or so.
the one my dad was buying is an old rally car lots of history a now out of date msa logbook.
it still has a 1600 cross flow 4 speed box ect but the engine number is different to the log book. It’s a rally car I’d be very surprised if it’s not had a few engines and Shells over the years.
my dads mate applied to the dvla for a new log book with the correct engine number (has the old log book still in his name and address ect,
they then sent a standard letter asking for pictures of this and that on the car, the car is in primer but a full dry build befor it will be stripped for paint.
thery weren’t satisfied with the pictures for some reason and asked to view the car, not a problem it’s a genuine car ect 90% compleate sat next to 2 other mk1 cars.
tgey have been and inspected the car and said it has to go on a Q plate and have a sva test when complete and can never have a age related plate again. This can only mean they have doubt over its history ect.
has anyone come across this and knows how to get it sorted, I did see a thread the other day about a SA import haveing a similar problemcoukd it be as simple as getting proof of build date?
