Has the trolley got a V5?

Chris, I bet the trolley's not got a V5, but it could well be adapted from an old WW2 V1 or V2 launch trolley. Or maybe not.
It is part of an actual Dino chassis.Originally Posted by Normb666

'Just wonder where the rest went?
The story in the advert is that this was removed from a low mileage crashed Dino which was damaged in Germany. So likely they just cut the engine out complete with engine mounts and chassis rails then put some useful casters on. German practicality in action. So I guess we have to infer the rest of the car got binned. Back in the day when V5's were not as valuable as they seem today.
Yes, but there is enough info in the advert to apply for the V5
A complete engine, gearbox and differential assembly from an E series Ferrari 246 Dino GTS *07786*.
Engine numer: 135CS000 *0011791*
Gearbox number: 2856E
Bellhousing number: 929
Dino guru Matthias Bartz has confirmed this engine and gearbox pertain to Dino 246 GTS *07786*, built 03/1974 delivered to Auto Becker Düsseldorf.
*07786* was crashed in the mid 1970's and the engine removed. It has been in careful dry storage for the last 45 years, turned over by hand periodically to keep everything from seizing.
But In line with much discussion on this subject here and elsewhere, what are the ethics involved in applying for a V5, or other national registration, when all you have are numbers? I this case you would have a matching engine of course, but an engine alone does not define a car. Never has.
I'd have to say I think its unethical.
It would be a way of by- passing systems like IVA, which have important road safety purposes after all , at best and have fraudulent implications at worst.
It has a gearbox too so in the old days didnt this qualify as a substantial part of a donor to go on a replica.....???
