As long as it has a chassis number stamped in the body you should have no probs.

Pete if the car has been written off (insurance) and compliance plate removed, what are my options. Chassis number is still there.
Re-birth??

When a vehicle is written off and it is declared a "S/W" or structural write off it is dead. only good for spare parts, never to be re-registered.
It is only metal and the numbers are 'blacklisted' so to speak, and the ID tags are cut in half.
If it is declared an 'economical writeoff' it can be repaired and re- registered, but it must go through the process of being checked by nominated
engineer and full new registration required. Proof of parts purchase and repair methods are required also. I have sent a car thogh the process and it
cost about $500. and they had the car for a day. I would say as part of it they check to make sure it is not a re-birthed stolen car, and that all
your paperwork is legit.

remember one key thing, it is not a compliance plate , which shows compliance with ADRs, they go back to about 1970 before that they were just ID
plates & frequently souvenired by owners before they got rid of the car---- REVS records depend on just when the car was last registered, not how
old the car is
Please, I need drivers side window regulator (winder mechanism) for my '54  |

You should be able to tell if it has been smashed that bad that it would have been written off.
I doubt it or you wouldnt have bought it.
The early busses dont have compliance plates, they just have ID plates, these were attached to the right had side of the engine bay just below the
fuel tank.
There is also the chassis number stamped in the same position.
Phone your local motor reg or what ever it is called in your state and give them the ID/chassis number and ask them to check.
I doubt there records go back far enough.
When I contacted motor reg here in S.A. they did not have a record of my buss and so all I have to do is take it in for a check to see it is
roadworthy, or just give them the reg it last had and notify them of the new engine number
Always check with the local authority, its best to get it on the road legally incase you have an accident in the future as your insurance company
could deny your claim if they found out it wasnt legally regoed.
Cheers

Hi
Aluminium ones were only introduced in the early 70s when ADRs started.
