Thanks mate, you're right - and it looks like a major rebuild, too much for me these days - but I'd love it

No SVA, no IVA? Worth the sum of its parts to somebody out there.

Not necessarily Richard, we'll wait and see. There is some history to this one.

Re numbers, simple answer is "dunno" never counted the current ones, we just deal with the total archive and no differentiation on "active" or not

Surely if there is history and the original reg is known it could be claimed back?

It's a shame the car is such a long way away as I had a chance to purchase this car some time ago when it was in Birmingham ,I could kick myself for being so hesitant still the price has jumped sum what .still worth saving though.

The problem to overcome is that with the loss of the V5 and the car not being marked with its VIN the DVLA wont provide a replacement V5 or provide the VIN number without the owner making a considerable history case. Even then its still a very grey route to go down.

A rough count out of the 236 Mk1 All Triumph kits produced we have some info of about 143 cars plus a few unbuilt "projects" but a few cars have since bitten the dust, exactly how many still exist we will never really know. This does not include the hybrid cars.
