Donor car
I've just sold the remains of the donor car less engine, gearbox, diff , wiring etc.(purchaser is using it for trim/body spares). It's not
on new type log book or SORN as it was last taxed about 10 years ago. Do I have to notify DVL A that it's been scrapped or what?
I've kept the chassis plate and the engine is as per the old logbook - what odds I can run the F27 ( I don't mind calling it a Lancia) on
the same reg (B plate) and avoid SVA? Probably wishful thinking but can any of you guys come up with an angle? Thanks, Pewe

No odds at all that you can avoid SVA, unless you lie and pretend it is actually the same car as the Lancia...
As far as I know you can only keep the actual original reg if you use the original chassis... not very likely, I would think  .
You can get an age-related plate (e.g. if the Lancia was a D reg, then a D reg would be allocated) if at least X key parts from the donor have been
used. You will need to check the DVLA website for details.
Finally, why do you want to avoid SVA (assuming you are building a "new" car)? Granted it is a bit of a hassle, but getting a car through
SVA gives you some element of reassurance that it is reasonably OK - brakes, steering and fuel at least!
Good luck
EDIT: re the SORN - if you have only sold individual bits and have kept the VIN plate and V5, I think you just keep SORNing it until you go to
register it.

Humbug, thanks for that - guess I knew the answer but you live in hope! It's probably going to be used for track days etc so SVA at this stage
seems a lot of hassle for not much return. Cheers, Pewe
