Has it a VIN number stamed on it if so contact DVLA with it and see whot comes up
For Road use as long as its got lights wipers speedo i cant see why it cant be put on the road (ie like a kitcar when you build them )

1st thing to do is take it for an MOT, they can MOT it on the chassis number.

When registering cars that never have in the UK before you take em for an MOT, then take the cert along with some money and loads of paperwork youve filled in down to the DVLA and they give you tax and a registration.

No doubt if its not got VIN plates etc itd be a bit more complex, but it will be the same sort of procedure.

My Chaser is off for its first ever MOT (built 1990) at 2pm today so i can register it for the road... im shitting myself
