Phil, I've always found DVLA ok when dealing with registration of classics that have dropped off the radar in the past. My own Mk1 had been in Holland for 30 years but now has its original reg ERA 5H back. You must have a strong case with ETE as it's so well documented being used in adverts and broc...

Hi Phil,

Great to have you on board and with such a special early car!. Photos are required immediately!!.
I have a very early car myself so we will have to compare notes as i'm trying to get it back to original as possible.

I think you should bid for it Jeremy, you could race Dad round chichester bypass!.

Bodywork looks very straight with good panel fit, are those Puma headlights?.

Dave.

Gary, Just to confirm i intend to be there on the 15th with mk4, monsoon weather excepted as i gave up doing very wet car events a few years ago!. Would liked to have camped on sat night but i will be returning from a weeks hols in the dales on sat pm.

I've seen these before, anyone know what actually happened and did the car survive?.

Dave.
