DVLA - Kit Conversion - Heads up
 

Finally tracked my application down with the DVLA and they are requesting more documentation.

They are telling me that when you complete the V627/1, for any parts listed as new you must supply a receipt/invoice that states the parts are NEW AND UNUSED. If this is not stated then you need a letter from the manufacturer declaring that the parts are NEW AND UNUSED. People starting their builds may want to consider this when buying parts.

The second thing they have asked me for is photos showing the front, back and sides of the car.

If anyone is applying soon it would be worth including these docs/photos to try and speed through the process as otherwise you will spend ages ringing call centres, waiting for letters etc etc!

Sounds like its worth looking really hard for the receipts on your computer. If you look really hard in microsoft word its amazing what you can find:)

When you say receipts saying new and unused how far are we going, everything nuts bolts washers ect. Components like horn ect or just the big things like engine gb, ect.

In terms of receipts they are looking for anything declared new on the v627/1 form. If you have a look at the form there is a section that asks for new/used parts. If from a single donor you need to supply the v5 for the 'used' parts. For the new parts I declared chassis, bodywork and suspension for which I sent receipts. The receipts just say body kit etc. What the dvla say is they need something to say they are NEW.

Fingers crossed I might almost be there.....
36 days after i submitted my application to the DVLA they tell me that my reg number was sent out in the post this morning. Fingers crossed for that xmas day drive!
