       Sunny Jim's right - from what I can gather the previous owner
       tried to do the right thing :eek: It flagged up on the DVLA
       system and they asked for an IVA.
       However the previous owner has even offered to attend the IVA
       inspection as he knows the history of the vehicle, which he
       thinks might help in securing the reg no. so that's nice of
       him.....
       A used chassis has been fitted and a used engine from another
       vehicle also, hence the alarm bells at DVLA.
       At least when it's through the test it will be properly
       registered for good!
       Still like it anyway, so far :smile1

       He must be out of his mind. NEVER do "the right thing" where the
       authorities are concerned. Fuck them over whenever possible and
       tell them nothing you don't absolutely have to.

       couple of points really, someone mentioned viewing the rear
       chassis to see if it was military, but would this be of any
       significance if the chassis has been replaced?
       just wondering what happened to the original vehicle which would
       have had the chassis originally, is this still extant, could it
       be the one with the registration now sported by this one?
       bit of a can of worms really, but if everything can be
       catagorised then it will probably come out in the wash so to
       speak, kind regards

       Don't know what happened to the original vehicle chassis. Still
       in the process of getting it on the road, few delays but we will
       get there.
       on another subject, applied for a registration number for a
       motorbike which I had lost the V5 and reg for. long story.
       Anyhoo, filled the form in without the reg number but including
       the chassis number. Bike is registered to me anyway.
       Guess what?
       Unless I can supply the reg no, which they should have on their
       records, they want the bike inspected!!
       FFS seems the DVLA are just creating work, asking for
       inspections all the time and charging you for the privillage.
       Getting a bit pissed off with them now.
       Then there's the DVLA debarcle regarding regestering my self
       build camper van,  :eek: cunts.

       So what happened?
       Inspection was on the 21st.  What was the outcome?
       surely if the chassis was from a different vehicle, then the
       chassis number would be identifies and THAT is the identity that
       the vehicle would get?  Or is that too simple?
       Re the "S2A Military 1 ton"  that was the first Landrover I
       owned, 1960's but first (civilian) registered in 1972.  I was
       always told it was a "1 ton" but was never sure what that really
       meant (I doubt it meant it could carry a 1 ton payload, but then
       the springs were as stiff as anything with no load in it)  It
       had the twin fuel tanks (filler caps under the seats) and the
       twin front bumper.

       My thoughts exactly Dave. I'd be rare for the authorities to
       pick up on anything like this so the PO must have instigated the
       process. Pure insanity.

       unintersting update, never made it to the IVA as recovery driver
       never appeared (since discovered you can drive it there like an
       MOT) and now I'm busy working at sea so can't book another test
       for months. Cancelled IVA and have a refund to
       collect.......which I'd love to spend on a V5 from somewhere

       The solution to your problem with the bike where you don't know
       the reg is to get someone to run you a trade hpi check on the
       chassis number.
       Trade hpi will cost the person doing it about £10, and will
       bring back a list of all the reg numbers ever applied to that
       vehicle.
       I did this when I bought my series 1, as it had sat off the road
       since the mid 80s, then had it's original number transferred,
       but it had never been fitted with plates with its new reg, so it
       came to me with no logbook, and no indication of the number it
       was registered on.
