NOT REGISTERED - NEW OWNER TO APPLY. Paperwork includes blank applications for first vehicle tax and registration for a used motor vehicle, printed MOT certificate, printed Certificate of Registration, a printed invoice, HM Revenue & Customs NOVA reference, Republic of South Africa certificate of registration, and a MOT certificate.
The vendor has provided the following:
- Ford Escort 1600 Sport MK2 in red, South African spec
- The car was imported from South Africa by Car Cave
- It comes with the NOVA paperwork and has been lightly restored by me to sort a few minor mechanical and electrical gremlins before having an MOT test using the chassis number and then applying for a UK V5
- I had planned to build this car into a historic spec rally car, but recently was able to purchase an already-prepared Escort, so this car is now a spare
- Really needs to go to an enthusiast who just wants a nice example for road and show use
