Sorted at the local post office piece of piddle They checked on the computer that it was over 40 years old Pressed a few buttons then said it’s now registered as historic They took part of the v5 to send off and said you will get a new one sent out. When I enquired about a refund for the tax I paid they said it depends on the dvla sometimes they refund sometimes they don’t and if I have any issues I need to contact the dvla.
Simples eh Looking at the receipt they gave me it’s now got 12 months tax from the beginning of feb this year Hopefully that’s the end of the palaver and fingers crossed for a refund.
Our little Post Office in the village is run by a right miserable cow, but she did my application for my 944 over the counter and that was it, just the long wait the other end at DVLA, took nearly two months to get my V5 back
Our local post office are normally a bunch of useless miserable twunts I was amazed when it was bish bash bosh done.
Didn’t need to. It’s exempt. I guess she just knew that. I’m not the only person here with a historic bike. A guy up the road has 16.
I didn’t send a letter or proof of age ( van not me) the lady in the post office did mine and Swansea sent me a new log book
It’s normally imported vans that have to prove their age. If it was first registered in the uk then dvla already know its age I didn’t have to prove my vans age because even though it’s an import Because in the special notes on the v5 it stated the date of import and the date of manufacture
