[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 86497, member: 58"] Basically unless you are 100% sure, the best way to cover yourself is to MOT your vehicle which you can even if it is exempt. The DVLA have no way that I know of by identifying from what info they hold, if a vehicle is reconstructed or not unless you have in the past been issued with a new DVLA frame number. You mention historic tax class. Currently anything built pre 1960 is MOT exempt and they don't have to be subjected to any other questioning. It is basically the year of built (not year of registration) as recorded by the DVLA. It looks like under the new system that will change and and pre 1960 vehicles will be subjected to the full questioning. So currently a 1957 Norvin would qualify as MOT exempt as its a special or kit vehicle made of parts from different manufacturers. Will they be changine the historic tax class and introducing a VHI (vehicle of history interest) class. I don't know. This is just my interpertation of what has been published so far, but knowing how the DVLA works and how age related and V765 applications work, its my best guess so far.
