V5 question

[jason 82]

Try my number above. My chassis number was free only a few weeks ago. Sounds like crossed wires & they are trying to Bill you £25 for the log book, hence v62. The details I put in my previous post today are specifically for the kit car build, I have spoken to dvla about this registration lark on numerous occasions, & got a different answer every time. The lady in my earlier post is a gem, hence the direct dial number, none of this press 4, then 3 crap. Your new vin will begin dvlaswa.................... Give her a call tomorrow, I promise you that it will clarify the hole situation.

Don't what ever you do, say you have/scrap the car and fill in V5 as scrapped.
As previously posted remove vin and vin plate number plates and sorn it.

Cut the shell up and "recycle it" as scrap metal not a vehicle.

DVLA will send you a letter stating a VIN number and another form to fill in when you IVA your car when you apply for the vin and that is all you have to do at this stage.

Thanks Jason!
Your right what a little star I told her she was famous and she is known as the kit car lady! i just need to send a covering letter with no fee for my chassis number and I must keep the v5 for the doner vehicle as that is my proof!! easy as that took 5 mins on the phone

just a note
legaly you are should keep the body or chassis of your doner car and not scrap it until you have it registerd as the doner for your new car if your going for an age related plate after iva. all new or Q's dont need to worry but dvla are very intersed in where almost everything came from.

i didnt tell dvla when i applied for my chasis no. just said its the first part of a big puzzle.

what happens is if the car is registerd as scrapped with the dvla its out of the system and a v5 is not needed to do this

this is why some people retain the identifying bits so scrap man cant do this on your behalf

my glass had been etched with reg numbers so check this is gone if you recycle your shell.
