CARS+GATE=GREAT (a)
NAIL+BEAM=MAMBA (b)

By solving the above alphametics one gets two distinct sets of letter-to-digit coding, code (a) for the 1st equation and code (b) for the second.

The bolded sequence of digits below can be decoded into meaningful text, by choosing the correct match to each of the digits , either by code (a) or code(b).
Once convinced that your choices were right and the text makes sense, please answer, how does your solution relate to puzzle’s title.

CARS+GATE=GREAT
-> (C,A,R,S,G,T,E) =(9,4,0,5,1,4,8)
-> 9405+1438=10843

NAILS+BEAM=MAMBA
-> (N,A,I,L,B,E,M)=(5,3,4,2,7,8,1)
-> 5342+7831=13173

Then, in accordance with the given conditions,  we must have:
1-> G or, M                4-> A or, I                         8-> E
2-> L                           5-> S or, N                       9-> C
3-> T or, A                  7-> B                                0-> R

By trial and error, the given code decodes as:
                                 MAGNA CARTA LIBERTATIS

Google searches reveal that, Magna Carta Libertatis was created on June 20, 1428 by KING ALFONSO of ARAGON and given to the people of Malta with a view to extending  their rights and protecting them from cruel and unjust future rulers. 

The title then MUST  be an anagram of 1428, the year that Magna Carta Libertatis was constituted.
