Backdating a Forward Date!

Odd it would come alive?
Lots of old threads popping up on the new PCGB forum.

The above was wether to tell if it’s an IB 74 on shell that’s had an early chassis number swapped in

Is that illegal? What's DVLA view on that? Do you think there are many of those going around?

There are loads around. Some will be stolen cars that are restamped. Some will be stamped as something else to improve their value. Some are done for more innocent reasons.

The DVLA’s current view is:

Get a ‘Q’ registration number
You will not be able to keep your vehicle’s original registration number if one of the following applies:

it has fewer than 8 points
it has a second-hand or altered chassis, monocoque bodyshell or frame
there’s evidence that 2 vehicles have been welded together to form one (ie ‘cut and shut’)

This thread is over 3 years old ...

Still curious re the legalities though.

Good God!!! What sort of animal would forward-date an early 911, and then go hillclimbing in it???

Great hill to run.
Did it twice in my hot Impreza, what a track, what a car!
Sorry...

Hello all, I'm the original poster of this thread. I decided not to buy the original car in question as I couldn't be satisfied as to the identity.

I've since bought another 911 competition car and I'm planning on building it up this year with a view to doing some hillclimbs and circuit events next year. I'll start a new thread for that car.
