Good news on having a V5 which tallies to the engine, double check that the engine number on the doc is the same as the one on the block, also make sure that you can read the number on the block easily & that it doesn't look to have been tampered with in any way. You will therefore be emissions tested on the age of the engine rather than having to meet a current emissions standard.

When you have passed the IVA test & gone through the rigmarole with the DVLA you should then be issued with a new V5 doc which has a previously unused registration from the year of the donor car.

Thanks for all the info Craig, all very helpful.

I guess something will have to be done about the tailpipe as, from looking in the IVA manual, there's no way of satisfying a radius curvature of 2.5mm at present.

Yes all good about the engine, specifically on the emissions front. I could imagine trying to meet modern emissions on a Beta TC to be challenging if we did not have the V5.

Thanks, Michael
