Anybody have any ideas of how to find out wether a foreign registered vehicle has a marker on it for destruction? I have a pile of tinware from a quirky little vehicle I am planning on rebuilding. It was cut up when I got it,bought as scrap/repair panels. It's hard to say wether it was cut up to make it easier to scrap,or if it was following an accident by some over zealous bearer of the jaws of life. The bit of damage it has got definitely doesn't look like it would have required the jaws of life. I have the numberplate and the vin number. First step would be to find out what country it hails from. I am leaning towards Holland. Upside down picture of numberplate to follow....😂

It looks Dutch but the additional 1 at the start is confusing me. Usually they're XX-99-99 so the three digit letters code is slightly off (FOR ME) too but someone with much more knowledge of numberplates than me ( grizz ) might be along shortly  I thought the DCVM might be a clue but google isn't helping. |

Well well welll 😂
Grizz was on the case for less than three hours and it turns out it’s from Portugal. Mafra, a suburb of Lisboa to be exact. 😎. Now just need to find a Petrolheaded Portuguese resident to run some checks....

Doesn't matter if it has been registered scrapped in that country as DVLA have no way of checking and it can't have a marker in the UK as it won't be on the DVLA system unless it has been used in crime in the past six months and ended up in a police investigation where the VIN was recorded.

I have had it for more than six months anyway,and the guy I got it off down in Wales had it longer than that. So what you think is next? |

How much of it do you actually have ? Did it come in as a complete car with records of that or as a pile of panels ? All affects how to get it registered.

Doors unbolted. Roof cut off through the pillars. Most of the interior,front suspension. No engine or gearbox. Guy in Wales bought it for spares unseen,but it was a later model one than his,so of no use. Don't know how it was brought into the country. I have no paperworking,baring a receipt from guy in Wales... |

If you are restoring ( shame on you  ) then you can get it registered as a reconstructed classic if you can find enough correct period parts and with the support of a club on the V765 list. Has to be 100% standard at time of registration. If you are modifying then you will need to go for BIVA test and I can supply more info on thta if required. No need for NOVA as no complete car was imported, only spares. |

Bit of a strange one in that technically it's not a car,so would need ,I think,a MSVA...

Does a heart transplant involving ripping out a puny 50cc engine and replacing it with 1000cc's constitute modification? 😂😂😂 It does have a vin number on the inside of the cab. I want to use this,but don't want to go and build only to find out they don't like the vin number. Not bothered if it's on a Q plate,just want it Road legal 😊 |

Needs to be 100% stock to register . You won't get a Q plate without BIVA test . Won't pass BIVA without being built to pass .
With no original paperwork the only other route is via Reconstructed Classics class but again must be 100% stock and supported by an appropriate club verifying originality .

As you say 50cc I am guessing it's one of the Matisse(?) style single seater ? Dependent on weight that will put it in MSVA class which is weight baseed but to pass as a quadricycle has to have a proven / certified low output engine .
