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?

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

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!!!!!
