Nearly time for another plaque..... :D

Do I get a special plaque or nomination for the slowest ever build?::o

All plaques are special.......and nearly as old as your build! :D

Yippi, I got the retest date today! Its shame it a few weeks away yet, but on the countdown for 22nd July. Unfortunately the Exeter Inspector has no slots until then!:)

I have one item on the list for him to check!:)

This coincidently also marks the exact 5 year mark on my build! with a day!

check the updated manual items.

When where they updated????????:eek:

I am delighted to announce that after almost exactly 5 years to the day, I have completed my Roadster & passed the IVA test at the Exeter Test Station today!:)

All DVLA paperwork as been filled and posted - now just to see what effect combining 39 local DVLA offices into Swansea will have!

Congratulations and welcome to the completed car club :D

Due to the closer of 39 local DVLA offices, the registration works have now been centralised to DVLA Swansea:-

VC15A/MASET
D4
DVLA
Swansea
SA6 7 JL

Not quite yet Spike....25th Oct 22nd Nov and 13 Dec three groups

just read the news letter Spike and yep you are right ....all v55's are now being processed at swansea......bugger:( :(

what does that mean though , just paper work? or eveyone traveling?

TT

Exelent news :D and well done i will be looking forward for a cruze with you and if you want a plym-exeter pit stop with tools etc give me a shout

i must have just squezed my car in to reg in the exeter office?


first 10 plates gold, 10-25 silver, slowest ever bulld (wooden spoon) comes in rust :p

I like to think the spoon is made from oak rather than pine!

Defo up for a drive, if the DVLA ever issue paperwork!

the guidelines of the new system say all registrations must be issued within 14days time to pickup the phone and remind them.

This is the most frustrating part of the build!!!! Lets hope something happen this week as the 9th August will be the 14 working day mark.

Registering a vehicle

All V55 first registration application/s, including the appropriate fee and any supporting documents, should now be sent to DVLA Swansea SA99 1BE:
• the Vehicle Registration Certificate (V5C), tax disc and any associated documents will arrive in separate envelopes within 14 working days. Note: you may receive your V5C before the tax disc
• you will be able to use your vehicle on receipt of either the tax disc or V5C.
• if after 14 working days you have not received your tax disc or associated documents please contact DVLA Swansea on 0300 790 6802

So no registration inspection is needed then?

TT

Well done Spike, looks like there will be a few new ones on the road this year. I hope your paper work doesn't take too long. Enjoy.

Spoke to the DVLA Case Worker today, basically they are unsure how to register it at Swansea. They know it will have an age related plate, however as the approval certificate states a build of 2013, he does not know how to input the data.

He said he will register it anyway on Friday this week if he cant get any answers from anyone in his Department, but may have to change it at a later date!

Ehh?

It's cut and dried, it's built from substantialy second hand parts on a new chassis, it gets an age related plate based on the doner which is determined from the documentation from the donor V5 which has the engine number.

Or did you not have the corrosponding V5?

TT

I'll be honest, I'm half tempted to get the likes of Paul Jepson to handle the paperwork when my time comes for IVA. It's an extra expense but it ought to make the whole process less stressful.

amazing i was in and done in 30mins when it was done at exeter office
a good 15mins of that was sat waiting my turn.

Great news, I called them today and they have raised the paperwork and provided an age related registration number. Paperwork and tax disc in the post. That was exactly 14 working days as per the guidelines. They may need to make a minor amendment when someone tells them how to do it properly.

Pretty cool number plate also for free

The x's to blank the real letters:)

Finally

V5 arrived in the post today! Just need the Tax disc to arrive. Looking good for the first drive this weekend if the rain holds off!:)

I am sure I read very recently that if you receive one or the other (tax disc or V5) you can drive straight away.

Congratulations now get out there and thrash the nuts off it

Arfon

In a previous pasted post the dvla say you can use is.

"you will be able to use your vehicle on receipt of either the tax disc or V5C. "

Please post some video's!!!!!
