Well, the DVLA came and had a look at the car. He seemed to be expecting some sort of other inspection although I did point out to him that this was a rebuild and not a fresh kit. He asked a few questions about what was what, had a look at all the build pictures and then said he thought I may get a new registration? This is confusing as I can't see anything about that in the DVLA or VOSA information. Confused I am!
Still, he said that I should hear from them by the end of the week so that should be the final word...bit miffed at not having the final decision though...
