B. Radically Altered Vehicles
This covers vehicles which are substantially altered from their original specification, but which are not kit conversions.
In these cases the vehicle components used from the original vehicle will be given a numerical value and, in order to retain the original registration mark the vehicle must score eight or more points.
If less than eight points are scored or a second-hand or modified chassis or altered monocoque bodyshell is used an ESVA/SVA/MSVA certificate will be required to register the vehicle and a 'Q' prefix registration number will be allocated.
The following values will be allocated to the major components used:
Points
Chassis/body shell (body and chassis as one unit - monocoque)* (original or new) = 5
Suspension = 2
Axles = 2
Transmission = 2
Steering Assembly = 2
Engine = 1
*Direct replacement from the manufactures
NB. Where there is evidence that two vehicles have been welded together to form one (i.e. 'Cut and Shut') a 'Q' mark will be allocated. ESVA/SVA/MSVA will be required.
Vehicle Identification Number
This is a legal requirement for all vehicles used on the public highway to carry a Vehicle Identity Number (VIN). This may be lost when a vehicle is substantially rebuilt, particularly in the case of kit vehicles where the chassis/bodyshell may not have been stamped by the manufacturer. In such circumstances the DVLA Local Office will allocate a replacement VIN.
The DVLA Local Office will issue an authorisation letter and registration will not take effect until the Agency receives confirmation that the vehicle has been stamped with the correct identity.
Registration of Vehicles without Identity
The following procedures must be followed when making application for the registration and first licensing of a vehicle without identity
You should use your nearest DVLA Local Office.
Applications from outside a DVLA Local Office's catchment area will be refused;
You will be asked to produce documentation confirming your name and address, either your DVLA photocard driving licence or one original document from each of the lists below. Copies are unacceptable.
Documentation confirming your Name
Current DVLA paper driving licence,
UK/EU or foreign passport,
Marriage certificate,
Decree nisi/absolute,
Birth certificate.
Documentation confirming your Address
Utility Bill valid within the last 3 months - gas, electricity, water, landline telephone,
Bank/Building Society statement valid within the last 3 months,
Medical Card,
Council tax bill for current year.
You will be asked to produce official receipts from identifiable suppliers for the components used in a rebuild. The authenticity of receipts may be checked. They will be stamped by the DVLA Local Office before return;
All vehicles without identity (VIN and registration mark) will be inspected by DVLA and referred to the police.
These arrangements have been introduced in an effort to combat vehicle crime. Applicants who rebuild vehicles and can prove the origins of the components need not be concerned. However, if the police believe a vehicle to be stolen DVLA will refuse to register and it may be impounded.
Prospective purchasers of vehicles without identity are advised to exercise caution. If a vehicle is suspected of being stolen both it and the money paid for it may be lost. Advice for prospective purchasers of vehicles (The car buyers Guide) is available from Crime Prevention Officers and DVLA Local Offices.
