This Rover will require re-registration, by the buyer, with the DVLA.
Sadly the workings of the DVLA are a mystery to many and what should have been a simple process removing a cherished registration number has caused a ‘computer says no’ moment at DVLA HQ, leading to the Rover being issued with a new VIN number: DVLASWA3972518405.
It comes with a large history file containing MoTs, various documents and Heritage certificate.
