This could be awkward
This a paragraph copied from the Motor Cycling Club News of the Week,
DVLA RUMBLINGS David Malin warns us that the DVLA are apparently refusing to issue V5C registaration certificates to re-engined cars without proof of
the engines history. Apparently the owner will have to give details of the donor car. This of course means if you have an engine you purchased not
in a vehicle, or as we have engines 'under the bench' from vehicles long gone then there maybe problems when you inform DVLA.
Anybody fallen foul ot this?

Nope... did a change of engine last month. All DVLA wanted to know was the new engine number and a confirmation letter from a garage to say that the
number was indeed correct.

Yeah can see them building a rod for their own back if that is true.

Only if they are daft enough to pay for insurance cover, then drive whilst that insurance is null and void!

sounds like another story written without a single fact.

Dear Mr DVLA,
The brand new engine fitted to my car was entirely built by myself, including all castings.
Unfortunately, this was a destructive process so the castings are no longer available for inspection.
Signed
Mr Cheeky

I thought that the engine number was often a good enough confirmation of it's history, at least that's what my MOT guy always refers to
for emissions info. Isn't that all the DVLA need?
Cheers,
Raz

I have 3 engines, one from a scrapyard, 2 from fellow locosters that have no previous history apart from the engine No.
Let's see how I get on when I register the recently rebuilt one, the only things original on it are the block and crank.

I don't see the DVLA doing this as above it would encourage people to not tell but it would also make more work for them. I know people
who've driven around with an undeclared engine, My dad did it by accident once and only found out when it blew a gasget and the garage told him.

An untampered engine number should be proof of an engines history, otherwise what is it for? If there is no number then its dodgy, and I tend to
think strong rules should be put in place.
