Yes i do have some history for the car, a VW birth certificate, and the original customs and excise importation document. They are not to hand but i think the car was imported in the early 80's, so id imagine theres a chance it has been registered here before.
Time to make some phone calls i think, i'll let you know what i find out.
MOT, well thats awkard, i was trying to get it registered now to aviod delays later on, its going to be a while before its ready for the road!!! Though am i correct in thinking if its registered already, i can re-register it using the old details with out an mot?
Shame about the reg was hoping i could choose 203 LEE, as my wifes name is ZOE, would have been a nice jesture and maby she'd like the car a bit more, oh well.
