Hi my Austin champ already has a log book, but on the log book it is down as a farmers HGV ? and date of reg is 1968. i am going to get it a age related plate so it will show historic on the v5 and its correct date when it was built 1954. The MVT have check it out and i have the paper work to take to the DVLA, can anyone see any pit falls with my plan ? i I plan to do this after the 18th of nov which is when pre 1960 are exempt MOT. I have two issues with the log book at present one is its tax class which shows farmers HGV Which it is not and the fact that it has no date of when the champ was made, and you are correct about first registration.My ferret did not need a MOT at fisrt regidtration as it was made in 1959. just ticked the box on the 112 g form. thanks for your input. Regards Tony.

Hi i have a 1954 Austin champ which has a 1968 v5 as a farmers HGV ? it has been off the road for some 10 years or so. i am going to get it a age related plate so it will show historic on the v5 and its correct date when it was built 1954. The MVT have check it out and i have the paper work to take to the DVLA, can anyone see any pit falls with my plan ? Thanks Tony.

Hi All With the exemption from MOT coming in on the 18th of November have DVLA produced a new exemption form for MOT. (form number 112) Regards Tony.

Hi All My Champ is now loaded and ready to go. got her to drive for the first time in about 5 years today. still lots to do next job is the dash. hope to be on site by 8 pm Thursday. Regards.

Never said that is was a Ebay issue, it is a issue of trust.

Hi user names is 2-fast-2-see. Regards.

I recently bought an Austin champ form a person in Standish, Wigan to be fair to the seller I did take sometime in my decision to buy the champ. I then decided to buy the champ and we agreed a price for the champ and all of the spares that he had collected over the years. I then paid the agreed price to the seller. The collection of the spares and champ took a total of 3 trips. When we agreed the price for the deal I did not get to see all of the parts due to them brining in different locations. (My first mistake). The reason we had to do a 3rd trip was because parts that were critical for us to assembly the vehicle were not in the box that we had all ready collected so this trip was frosty to say the least, Only due to the fact that items had been promised and not delivered. My second mistake was to take some one at face value.On my last visit I was told by the seller that we now had all of the spares. This week a rear diff and radiator has gone on EBay from this person. I am very disappointed that at the riper old age of 49 that this person has had my pants down and as a member of the champ club would urge champ owners to steer clear of this person. Regards

Thanks for the info.RegardsTony

Any one now wot a green goddess will do to the gallon. Regards Tony
