I finally got my Royale Sabre registered with the DVLA .
BUT not without a couple of issues....
My first application was rejected because they wanted a receipt for the chassis from the original manufacturer. I bought the kit as an unfinished project and it didnt come with the original receipt from 1994.
I had made sure I got a receipt from the guy I bought it from proving I owned the chassis and bodywork, etc. But I was told by the DVLA that they couldnt accept what they called a third party'receipt.
Luckily the Royale Owners club keep a register of all known Royale cars and they were happy to provide a Certificate of Authenticity confirming that my chassis was manufactured by the Royale Motor Company in 1994. I sent this back with a letter explaining that the Royale Motor Company ceased trading in 2001 and that the original receipt was lost.
This did the trick and they have issued me a V5 with an age related plate.
The second issue is the DVLA have mistyped the VIN on the V5
