DVLA - Colour change declaration...

[Jack3559]

How is it done and how would you go about declaring a harlequin?

[Wayne]

Simples, harlequin's are the base colour on the logbook.

One of the rarest VWs ever produced, the Harlequins were produced by swapping the body panels of four different colored Golfs. The are usually designated by their base color (the color of the car with no body panels attached). The base color is not repeated on any of the other body parts.

The 4 base colours were: Tornado Red, Ginster Yellow, Pistachio Green, Chagall Blue

To change on the log book is just the matter of filling the section and posting back.

Ah - I see!

So if I were to make a harlequin I would declare it one of the four colours, of would I keep it the colour of the original chassis on the logbook?

Unless you respraying the rest of the car, leave as is.
