There y'go, then. What's the problem with that? Weren't you planning on putting it through a ticket and taxing it? She said it's a project. Things may be different in your little world, but in mine, projects need to be registered in the owners name (to prevent the previous owner claiming it's been scrapped) then declared for SORN and kept off the road and untaxed until they've been completed. It's not a good idea to start work until the papers are in your own name, for obvious reasons. So, the OP needs to try to get their local DVLA centre to register and SORN the car, not tax it. |
driving it, I'm a law-abiding citizen...Just saying what could
happen....Really do need to have the vehicle in my name while working on
it...Is there any way that this can be done????? the rule seems barmy...what
if I went to sorn the car in my name (it already has a sorn in previous
owners name) at the local PO???
Thanks for all responses anyway............Pam

Well, in that case, and off the top of my head, here's a couple of old registration numbers from cars of mine from the 60s and early 70s that were destroyed or scrapped by me, and never reported to the DVLC or whatever it was back then: KPR 145 442 GYA Maybe someone can get a new V5 or whatever using them? Seeing as I've been in the YooEss for 20 odd years now and being a bit out of touch with Tony's Britain, I'm curious also to know if it's possible to look up somewhere and find out what they were and who owned them. |
they were, DVLA's vehicle licence site won't tell you.
But the change from V5s to V5Cs over the last couple of years is intended
to do exactly that - to chop all the old dead wood out of the vehicle
record. If there's anything lying about without a V5C, one is going to have
to be applied for sharpish or risk being deleted off the DVLA database - if
it's later found and restored, it'll have to be re-registered.

KPR 145 442 GYA They're not showing on the RAC's Vehicle Check. Without knowing what marque they were, DVLA's vehicle licence site won't tell you.

which says either (a) that we need to apply for new documents for old cars
or (b) how to do it. Can you give any leads on this? I have a Herald which
has been off-road since before SORN ...

I've just had a look at the DVLA website, and I can't see anything there which says either (a) that we need to apply for new documents for old cars or (b) how to do it. Can you give any leads on this? I have a Herald which has been off-road since before SORN ... |

before SORN, but I sent off the notification in the usual way and got
a new V5. I've since sent that back and got a V5C and I have to
declare SORN. That's the one for which they sent me a late licensing
penalty notice after I declared SORN on their web site.

They should have been auto-sent on taxing or SORNing a couple of years ago.

all vehicle keepers who have not received the new Registration
Certificate to send their old-style V5 Registration Document to DVLA,
Swansea, SA99 1BA, with a with a covering letter.
This includes keepers whose vehicles are off road being renovated, or
exempt from car tax for another reason. Keepers of old or classic
vehicles who are concerned that they might lose information on their
car's history may request the return of the old style V5 in the covering
letter."
I don't recall any such TV campaign, at least not one that covered
pre-sorn vehicles.

or after 31 January 1998. There is no charge for declaring SORN."
