Getting Registered with the DVLA
Posted: 01 Aug 2022 20:47
Well, my Mark 1 is (hopefully) structurally sound, moving and stopping which got me thinking about getting it back on the road in the not too distant future.
It’s been in a shed for the best part of 40+ years, so never did get onto the computerised DVLA database, and obviously had no paperwork when I bought it!
Luckily all the numbers match the heritage certificate (if anyone finds themselves in a similar position the heritage museum certificates do go a long way towards building a picture of authenticity when all seems lost).
I’m hoping that no one has taken 39 AOM (I cannot find any record with the DVLA that someone else is using it, so fingers crossed).
I downloaded form V55/5 and followed the instructions to complete it for applying to register an historic vehicle.
The other form is V765 - applying to register a vehicle under its original registration……this is where Stoney comes in, our authorised owners club official recognised by the DVLA. He came over yesterday and we had a grand old chat about many things - including A40 Farina’s (he’s got some good tips as well as good company).
Stoney gave the old girl a thorough going over, advised me on what I needed to submit for maximum chances of success and stamped and signed all the paperwork - I am very grateful to him!
It all went off to the DVLA today (don’t forget to keep copies of all the things Stoney signs - not that the DVLA would ever lose stuff, of course).
Let’s see how long it takes, and whether I get to keep 39 AOM……..
