Got a long way to go to beat this thread: http://www.mankymonkeymotors.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=5044.0(word association). I'm just moving from one worry to another. I'll take the paperwork up to London on Monday -but how long do they take to process it? More than 6 weeks & our SVA test certificate will become invalid. I won't relax till I'm screwing the number plates on & the tax disc is in the window. But yeah, another step forward today. Mr Kapri tells me it costs £55 for the first registration fee, plus £220 for 12 months road tax. |

i dont think it will be tax exempt as it will be classed as a new build ,=not enough of the original car left or used, andy may even end up with a ,brand new upto date registration number,, == a 2013 manky mobile pickup,, |

My recent excursions to the Wimbledon office were surprising in that the people staffing the place were brilliant. Helpfull, knowledgeable and cheerful to boot. My reg number was issued 1 week after inspection which was 1 week after 1st paperwork V55 etc visit. I would think that once the V55 is submitted the clock stops. Perhaps you should ask when you get there.
Anyway, good luck mate.

Already insured, (see earlier post).
I've got a feeling the woman I saw at Wimbledon DVLA last time only works a couple of days a week, but that was about a year & a half ago & I can't remember beyond yesterday. So at worst, I'll have a day out in London & make an appointment -you can't phone the DVLA offices direct, you have to go through Swansea, who then contact them for you.
Hoping it's just a matter of going through the forms & certificates, but will need the recovery truck again if they decide they want to see the vehicle. Not sure if South London's inside the low emmission zone -if so it could be an expensive trip cos they charge 100 quid a day to take a truck in.
It'll be on a Q plate. Q registrations "denote a vehicle of indeterminate age or origin".
I bought the original Pop rolling bodyshell from a guy in Essex, or Kent -somewhere the far side of London anyway, in February 2007. But then it sat in my lock-up garage in Basingstoke for a while, before moving to Guildford in Surrey when I moved into Taz's cottage. It lived in the back of a container there for some time. So it's probably been 5 years in the making at Loony's place.
It's been more a feat of endurance than a labour of love for quite a lot of that time, but I'm still looking forward to driving it, so I guess it's been worth it. Back to the 'shop later this morning to pull the drivers door lock apart & find out why it's not latching reliably.
