^^ your not wrong as I have a 1956 MG magnett (ex police car) handed down to me through the family with a great reg, its not been on the road since the early 80s and needs a top to tail restore which would set me back 6k, I have the new style V5 for it and everything, but unless its road legal I cant touch it and the reg is worth you guessed it £6k

, its been in my name for nearly 30 years too
