Re: Triumph based roadster
Car is quite probably only worth the sum of its spare parts.
Without a reg no or V5 it will be classed as a new vehicle. If you did find its original reg, you would not be able to use it without opening a real can of worms.
Possibly only useful as a spare chassis, not that I would condone it.

Re: Triumph based roadster
One other thought could the car not have an age related plate as it has been on the road previously all that's required is proof and that might be possible if someone recognises the car or photos of the car were found.

Re: Triumph based roadster
There is always the chance that the V5 was bought by another Marin owner because he wanted an age related plate on his own Q plated car, and he has just welded on a new chassis no plate!
If you could track down the original Reg, it won't be recorded on Marlin paperwork, but may be in club records, then check it against current DVLA records, there is a slim chance it could be revived, but if it has been scrapped.....

Re: Triumph based roadster
It's all very 'official' nowadays isn't it.
Here we have in plain sight a car, it was obviously built along time ago so won't conform to current regs. But really what's the problem. If I was the boss at DVLA I'd say "get it MOT'd with a view to the period it was built and we'll give you a correct period number".
It's probably more to do with the fact that everything is computerised, so it's outside the computer programs parameters and we no longer have local offices so you can't easily talk to someone.
One of the [many] perils of living in a centralised 'the computer says' society.
