  You could just buy the identity, ie V5 of a similar Vitesse of your own and clone it into what you want, but then that would be illegal wouldn't it, so I'd better not suggest that.

    where did it come from dont they know? or ask to se if its on the register on the TSSC, dont know if its computerised or not but maybe if it done by reg they can just look at the 6s listed for that year and look at the numbers for you if theyre nice.

      I restored a 1972 car (not a Triumph but an MG, OK I'll get 'me coat!) for which I didn't have the V5 or registration number. The process I followed was:
      
      1. I bought a Heritage Certificate based on the vehicle chassis number see http://www.heritage-motor-centre.co.uk/archive/cer....
      2. I got the car insured based on the chassis number
      3. After completing the restoration I had the car Mot'd on the chassis number.
      4. I went to my local DVLA office ( I live in North London so for me it is at Stanmore). They accepted the Heritage certificate as proof of year. I had to take the car to their inspector to prove that it really existed and the numbers were true. They then issued me with an age related registration number ( a K plate) and as it had been previously registered they made no charge. They also issued a tax disc on the spot.
      5. I updated the insurance information, bought some new number plates based on the document provided by the DVLA.
      6. V5C arrived by post a couple of weeks later.
      
      I was suprised at how easy it was. I never di find out what the original registration was.
