Sports or Coupe

[Danny]

Hi,

I have just got my car's registration history from DVLA (cost a fiver). Anyway when the car was originally registered in March 1972 using the old type Log Book the Type of Body was; Sports. When the registration document was changed to a V5 in 1976? the Model / Type became a Stag Coupe. The latest version of the V5 has the Model /Type as a Stag and the Body Type as Coupe.

My question is are all Stags considered to have a body type description; Coupe? Or are some described as Sports?
What does your V5 show against Body type?

Cheers
Danny

My Sept 1972 Stag has always been described as Coupe.

Mine has:-
the "model" field left blank
"Body type" is described as a convertable.

The word Stag does not appear anywhere on the document.:?

Hi Danny,
Your entry prompted to access the DVLA website to obtain the history for my car.
However, this hasn't proved to be as straightforward as I'd imagined.:?
Can you please pass on the relevent form/method of doing this?
Thanks in anticipation.
Regards,
Frank

Frank, Go to the DVLA websitehttp://www.dft.gov.uk/dvla/forms/onlineforms.aspx and download the V888 form. I got the information back from them within a month.

Cheers

wiki says a coupe is"A 2-door, 2- or 4-seat car with a fixed roof."

I would describe the stag as a convertible.

Or maybe, in modern parlance, a CC (Coupe / Convertible) - especially if 'fixed' means 'non-folding' cos it would be a bugger to try and fold our hardtops- although, looking at the condition of my first one,maybe not :shock:

If you had the hard top fitted it could, I guess be described as a coupe.

I dont think you can classa removable hard topas a fixed roof -unless you weld it on

neither the Herald or the Vitesse saloons have welded hard tops, both can be unbolted, so this must make the stag with the hard top on a saloon.
