Just acquired this vw trike the guy I
Bought it from said it's a Phoenix trike
It's on a q plate which it appears to have
Lost as it's been off the road from the
Late 90's
After speaking to the dvla I might be able to
Reg it if I can find the chassis number which
I can't. Any pointers in the way to go?
What make is it?

The vin could be attached to the frame just above the foot rests under the bodywork

Pulled the body off and there's no sign of a number

If you find the number, you can get someone to do a trade hpi for you with just the vin, that will get you the reg then apply for the logbook, the Dvla will not help you

Could also be that the vin has been used for another trike in which case you will have to go through all the procedure again to register it, probably why they sold it???
The older i get the earlier it seems to get late.

Have a look round the frame for some tell tale signs of rivet holes.....

Often as not, the VIN is either stamped into the yoke, or had a plate riveted to it.
Maybe someone used the VIN off this to use the V5 on something else :(

Re: What make is it?
It's definitely not got a vin attached, I'd take a guess its lost. What's the best way to register it? Have done a couple of bolt on trikes before and a reliant trike which was easy as it still had the back of the reliant body on it and unmodified chassis
