First steps getting back on the road
Im currently rebuilding & putting a new engine in an autounion ex military Munga.
It was built in 1960, and has old b&w plates on, but other than that i have no information/documents relating to it.
SO what do i need to do to start the process of getting it back on the road?
any advice or pointers would be GREATLY apreciated!!

I don't think you are going to get very far without a chassis Number or Vin number.
Is there an owner's club for the Auto Union Munga?
There are a few recognised (by DVLA) clubs which can verify vehicle identities for re-claiming or re-registering historic vehicles but I suspect you
would need to be able to show an original chassis number against the registration claimed.

there's some ideas in this Month's (April!?!) Practical Classics magazine on registering a car with no VIN.
Hope it helps!

No - you end up with Loss of identity... and a whole can of VOSA worms
Scot's do it better in Kilts.

Either I am missing something or there is a red herring here - you say it has B & W plates so - you know must know the registration number. With
that bit of info - can you not just apply for a replacement V5?
Not sure the chassis number is of any consequence in that process.
Once you have a new V5 - then you can go about changing the engine within the "normal" process - letter from garage etc.
