Can you transfer one of the new reg numbers on to an older car,
something like an early 3 door Disco?. Reason i ask is I saw a odd looking
number 'tother day on just such a vehicle. Or have I seen something that
doesn't really exist.........

They bleat on at you about it won't make your car look any younger, but if U
have a good reason for the plate, they will let U have it, but the donor car
MUST be road legal

No, you are unable to transfer a newer plate than is already on the car - I
wanted X1 SLD on my 94 Disco
But no go!

Can't remember the exact number, but it didn't strike me as anything
special. All I do know is that it was a 52/53 reg plate on an old 3 door
Disco, complete with 'Discovery' graphics down the side. I'm just
curious..........

BTW what is the wheelbase of a 3 door Disco?

You cannot apply a year-specific plate to a car older than that year.
So you can't put a 53 plate on any car registered before September 03.

Could be a few reasons...

a) it's stolen and the donkeys who stole it failed their Mensa exam or

b) it's never been registered before or

c) it's been built using a number of new parts and has a new plate under
the DVLA totting-up procedure

Isn't it also the case that if it's been written off by an insurance
company, if you fix it up yourself, it has be re-registered with a new
plate, etc?

Seriously doubt it. I would more expect it to get a Q plate but, more
likely, it has to retain it's original (or year-related) plate. Check out
the DVLA website as the totting-up procedure is explained showing where a
new plate would be awarded, dependant upon what has been replaced.

we had a theory in here the other day that the body was irrelevant to a Land
Rover, provided you had chassis, axles, engine and box.

coo, handy. Wonder if fitting a transit body to a 110 chassis counts as
"substantially modified"?

'ere. spot the mistake:

"From 7th April 2003, all cars and some tricycles (e.g. Robin Reliant)"

Bah. If ICBA I'd write to 'em.


aha:

"This is where a kit of new parts is added to an existing vehicle or old
parts are added to a kit comprising a manufactured body/chassis/monocoque
bodyshell. The general appearance of the vehicle will change and result in a
revised description on the registration document/Certificate.

A vehicle will retain its donor registration mark if either the original
unmodified chassis or unaltered monocoque bodyshell and two other major
components are used."

so I reckon my Tranist Rover can be "Kit Conversion".
