Registration of Pre - SVA era cars
Nowadays we all build cars, sva them and get a V5 with locost, or some other descriptor on them, and having a westfield with a v5 saying "ford
sierra" is definately wrong.
What happened before the sva era when one simply bought and built a kit? For instance if one was looking at a prebuild and used kit car from the late
70's? Would it be unreasonable to find these on the donor registration with the body style and colour updated?

There was an amnesty to allow the owners to sort the documents . Relistically your doc should now state "Bobs Special" or what ever as
the make. Rather than FORD Cortina even if it was build in 19oatcake.
Scot's do it better in Kilts.

My pre SVA was cortina parts based, it was DVLA inspected in part-built state and given a new age related plate and new VIN and V5 stated the make and
model as a T&J Hornet. Then just an MOT and you were on the road.

It should always have still had the correct updated make and model, it's just that all you had to do back then was get an MOT and tell DVLA.
If you can prove that the car was on the road, in it's current form, before SVA, DVLA are still allowing incorrect V5s to be updated.

so if a jago jeep was registered as a Ford Escort - Sport utility 4x4 that would be ok?
