Very simple... You fill in your details on the tax book and send it off

take a note of the reg, go into your local countryside garda station and ask if this car is clean

I have a car the last 10 years and never changed it into my name.

I went into the tax office today to get replacement documents for a car iv had since 1993,but was off the road in 1992,and as it wasnt on the system due to the changeover in 93 there was lots of consternation behind the desk as it didnt show on the computer.It was never in my name either,nor did i get the tax book for it.
They are faxing shannon to see if theres any record of the car,failing that he reckoned id have to re register on a ZV.Im not too bothered as its just for a beetle pan i have,but if you had a car that was in good order that was off the road like that you might have to re register..

Just a thought..

I can't see why you should have to reregister
Thats only a copout as an easy solution

i have a 74 pan for my longterm buggy project that was dragged out of a field,no idea who the PO was no reg number and no paperwork.

Any ideas on getting this registered?

Hmm..That could be hard,i have engine,chassis and prev owner written down,i dont know where you would start with yours.
Maybe if you went in with the chassis number,though as with mine,it might not be on any computer.
