Registering an imported TR3 from South Africa
Discussion
Can someone help please😖
I’ve recently imported a beautiful 1956 TR3 from South Africa and have fallen foul of the DVLA.
I have a heritage certificate from the South African Vintage Car Club, Confirmation of the car’s age in a letter from Toyota, who were previously known as Motor Assemblies who built the car under licence from Standard Motors. Photos of the Commissioning Number Plate and the Build Number at Motor Assemblies on the engine bulkhead, which were removed for the car’s total restoration in 2004 and attached again.
Unfortunately the registration document from the previous owner states the car as “Built Up”.
They’re trying to issue me with a “Q” plate which will render this beautiful heritage car worthless😔
DVLA say they will consider issuing an age related number plate if I get a letter from the South African authorities saying the car is safe to drive on British Roads!.........help!😖
