Hi all
I have recently purchased a vehicle which was manufactured in 1978 (according to VIN). I was told the vehicle was scrapped but do not have the de-registration papers. These might not exist or be impossible to find. There were a stack of license disks on the vehicle, the most recent one read 1988! After talking to the traffic department over the phone, they cannot find any record of the VIN number on eNaTIS... This makes me believe that the vehicle was scrapped before the eNaTIS era, but at the least it is not on their system. I seek the following advice please:
What procedure should i follow to register this vehicle? I have been on the phone for many hours with authorities receiving different advice. I am trying to avoid a lot of effort in going to SAPS Vehicle Clearance Unit (its far for me) without the correct paperwork. From what I understand I need to get an affidavit, RPI, RPC, datadot, roadworthy, get the vehicle weighed etc. etc. but I am not sure of the sequence to follow. I realise that this process would be a lot easier if the de-registration papers were available, and if the vehicle was on the system, but unfortunately I cannot help this.
Please help!

Re: Registering a scrapped vehicle without deregistration papers
You need to go to your licensing department and get a form from them that you take to the SAPS Vehicle Clearance Unit.
Thats the start.
The licensing department will ask you the engine number as well as the Vin Number, and the SAPS will verify this and give you clearance,
Then you go for all the other things such as Datadot, weight bridge and when you get back to the licensing department, the fun starts with paperwork.
Thats how they do it here in PE
Maybe Paul or Sean can tell you how it goes in CT.
