Dead Rego

[66gt]

Hi all I have a Mk 1 GT Cortina I bought years ago and the rego was dead then. I still have the ownership papers and the body tags but no number plates. The ownership papers are not in my name as I bought it for parts with no intention of getting it on the road again. Will I be able to reregister it with a new VIN number and new plates or is it a dead duck

If its been registered in nz before then probably, you might need a declaration from the police saying they have no interest on the car. I can't see why you wouldn't be able to.

yeah man, id recommend going to the place you intend to rereg it at and ask them (as they will  give you what paperwork they want/need ie a form to be filled by police  etc)

I bought my Gloria sort've similar. 

No plates, however the car was previously registered in NZ. The old plate was etched into the glass or I had a old rego tag (or both I cant remember now) anyway, you need to go to either Police, or the Justice of the peace - basically someone with high enough respectable standing stating you haven't stolen it and believe you're trustworthy. 

Mine had to sight the car - and noted down the chassis or vin number?

From there it was a very simple Recompliance (read, fancy wof) - Total cost approx $560 from memory?

It sounds alot more daunting than it actually is. Provided the car is up to wof standard thats the hardest part..
