Nope, you don't need a letter to prove the date. They already have it on the logbook, it's simply that the vehicle hasn't been on the road since Historic was brought in. All I've ever done with change from PLG to Historic is take it to the local office when you tax it and they change the class and send it off. We've even had several who have paid for PLG and then DVLA have changed the class and automatically refunded the money.

The only catch is the LOs start to close from October this year and will be all gone by end of December, then things may change.

Is it down as pick up on the V5C yet ?

I spoke to DVLA Swansea and my local office last week and at that point they still had no idea as to who was going to take over the role of the LOs
Officially it's being taken over by "partners," like the PO do tax discs. Who these partners are no one seems to have a clue. or at least aren't saying.

Hi Mike EMILYS looking nice. just one thing for all hotrod builders. how can this or any car. be classed as historicand be tax and mot exempt. if its been altered.  if i want to alter a car to a trike i will have to get it inspected. or if i go the reliant rout the its called a ringer as i have altered it. so can any one tell us whats what it seem you can do what you like with a hotrod. but trikes need inspecting

terry , the whole system is nuts ,,i,v cut up and scrapped two trikes as they were wrongly registered death traps,, i even had a letter from DVLA about one of them, as some one tried to use the reg,number after i had cut it up..thats along story but he got prosicueted.
i just want to make the best of whats allowed,
but it dosnt help when certain people ,rattle,, DVLA,s cage  not going to say who on an open forum, but it also relates to the ,karma, thing a few weeks back,, and a trike v5,not,,

[terry t]

i know what you mean about the system Mike. i had enough trouble registering my trike and that was only a bolt on conversion i wont be building another. just sort and play with the goldwing. still you get EMILY on the road and enjoy it take care

The simple truth is....it`s not a 1936 Austin Ten anymore...it`s been altered and should undergo an inspection.
Andy made his hotrod based partially on the Ford, Emily is based on the Austin she is not as she left the factory.
Yes the `system` can be hard work but it`s there for a reason and while we may not all agree on it, we should all abide by it.
Yes I know you don`t wanna hear it Mike, but that`s how it is.

[spanners]

acording to what i can find out
,EMILY, had an offical inspection in 2001 for some reason ,, and she also had change,s noted ? but which or what change,s they were i,m unshure ,, but i do know that things like engine number and cc are correct with DVLA.

as far as the pick-up conversion, it was done well over twenty years ago ,,may even have been first done in the early 1940,s    ,war effort,, ?

Nope, DVLA have just renewed their contract with the Post Office for another 5 years but they are talking about doing away with physical tax discs ENTIRELY as they no longer serve any real purpose now everything is computerised. Just been a DVLA Consulation document about it all.

I've spoken with DVLA recently and there is no official confirmation of who is doing what when DVLA LOs close. However from info gleaned from various sources  it is mainly an internal matter of payment that seems to be the stumbling block. Most likley outcome will be VOSA will take on essential high security issues but much of the onus will be put on the owner paying for for official confirmations from Owners clubs on the authorised V765 list.

To answer others questions it is legal to modify ( CURRENTLY but may change in May) a Historic vehicle by changing components within the DVLA 8 points system. Once outside that it should go through BIVA. Vehicle modified prior to 1998 follow an entirely different set of rules ,as do vehicles prior to 1981 with yet another set of different rules.
