Pop top conversion registered with DVLA

If you mean registered as a motor caravan, it won’t be. You need to do a lot more to get that classification than just fit a pop top.
If it’s been converted from a van to Kombi, it will be a van with windows. If it is a factory Kombi, it will stay the same on the V5.
Check the classification it’s registered as. This will be important with regard to the speed limits that will apply.

No
Brilliant, thanks. I did look into it and will only call the DVLA when I get the decals out.
Good luck with that one
Errr! You might want a read of this
Speed limits/ DVLA / Motor Caravan / Dual Purpose / N1 and all that malarkey.
Much discussion has taken place over the years regarding the status of vans & conversions with regard to speed limits/tax/insurance etc. There's a wealth of info on the forum - particularly this thread - but it's scattered and fragmented around the forum. So I thought I'd bring it all together...
Not sure what you are wanting to achieve by registering with DVLA but they do not need to know about the pop top.
Is it a Kombi converted from a panel van or a factory Kombi? If converted then they will change the body type to ‘van/side windows’. If a factory Kombi it will stay as it is.
If you are attempting to change the body type to a ‘motor caravan’ then, as said, they will not do that as a pop top doesn’t count, it would need to be a fixed high top (plus a load of other things). It’s clearly explained on this DVLA page:
