Registered as "Lada 1200 convertible"?? What did his insurers think about the modifications away from standard production spec???
Work-in-Progress: Changed to Zetec + T9. Still trying!!

Unsure if the cabriolet version of the 1200 was ever copmmercially available, if not, this is a very rare collectable vehicle.
On a more serious note..... How do these things get the annual MoT without a few raised eyebrows from the examiners (of course, I'm assuming
that the 1200 cabriolet isn't presented for the MoT's).
As we all know, if this thing hits you, your hospital/hospice/funeral bills are possibly unlikely to be paid by the 'insurer'.

thing is this is the way things were registered years ago
I owned a Phoenix previously that was registered as a 1974 Escort Sports Convertible. You could think it was registered incorrectly, but that's
the way the DVLA office registered it in the early 90's
Off course things have changed now, but that car had slipped through the DVLA net a few years ago.
The build of it was all documented as feature in one of the kit car mags at the time

But there was an amnesty to address these when SVA first came out. Any that missed this amnesty are still improperly registered.

that is correct, but if you had some proof is was done by a DVLA office it would still stand well to have the V5 changed. After all DVLA were/are the
govn. dept who deal with these things and if they did it one way years ago then they should be in posiition to rectify it
The first thing for a buyer would be to fill in a V888 and get all the history DVLA have, if it showed the car had been registered at a DVLA office
then you'd be on good grounds to get it rectified
I don't want to open a whole discussion on this, but the registered keeper needs to do this first
The records for my old car showed when the details were changed at the local DVLA office and wording to the effect the car was inspected
