If you need any help drop me a pm

Thereby hangs the tale. Your vehicle was already on the DVLA system. This one isn't and the owner will have to follow the V55/5 scheme for an age related number The DVLA have quite a strict requirement for the evidence required to prove date of manufacture. If the system is followed no problems, any anomalies then expect issues (I do speak from experience as I was MVT verification officer for over 3 years.) My comment was whether a letter from BCVM was sufficient for the DVLA. They will only accept dating letters from "Approved Clubs" I have just looked at the updated list and BCVM are on the list So good luck with the registration!

Lovely wagon and great research Just a word about registration, I would be tempted to use the MVT verification service. The DVLA can be difficult if the correct paperwork is not in order. Do they accept dating letters from the BCVM?

Try a post on the LRSOC forum (Series 1 club forum) Lots of info on RGX motors there

My mistake!!!

Trucks were purpose made by Mack I believe

Not really lists but plenty of books out there that explain and list vehicle markings.

With a Scammell cab?

I reckon that's aLeyland with an AEC radiator

Let well alone!!!

Just the same, insure on the chassis number, not then apply for first registration using the v55

So in easy steps!! Don't worry about type approval etc, just complete the minimum amount of information on the V55 Its taxation class will be Historic it therefore follows its FOC! Yes it does need an MOT and therefore must comply with C&U regs (lights etc) Insure it on the chassis number and you can drive it to a pre booked test (and home if it fails,, providing its not dangerous) get your insurers to change to road use........you are after all paying them!! The DVLA website contains some good info on the process Hope that helps (if not pm me) Cheers

Have you made a NOVA declaration? On the HMRC website, if not done then you will have problems with DVLA

In answer to your first question Yes you can drive it to the test station for a prebooked test If it fails then yes you should be able to drive it home.............unless I think the defect is classed as dangerous (I think!!!) have a trawl through the construction and use regs to see what might be needed to be done (under run bars seem to ring a bell to me) I am sure more knowledgeable people will be along shortly Although I would be tempted to put it in for test and if it fails fix what it fails on!! As regards your driving licence, fine downplate and drive on C1, if however you go for CAT C (only need the E if drawinga trailer) the it make no difference to taxation or usage (presumably you will tax it as private heavy goods)

We had the same problem with some MAN tanks on the fleet I used to run No contaminated fuel just the lining coming off the tank and blocking a filter We fitted sediment bowls so at least the drivers could anticipate the problem

Maybe a post on the Land Rover Series 1 forum??

Try paulbrook on here, he might be able to help

Richard quite correct Derek Lambe was the custodian of the two from Yorkshire (only one listed though) and were kept at Guyhirn (near Wisbech) The other ended up owned by Roger Bastable Derek was a fascinating man, was apprenticed to Frank Perkins, served in the REME during the war returned to Perkins and worked in the trials department Spent many happy hours talking to him, he owned a Humber box (ex BBC) that he fitted a P6 into. This is still on the rally scene A very knowledgeable man

There used to be two near Wisbech in Cambrideshire I believe they were owned by someone in Yorkshire and were being cared for by a guy (now passed away) I wonder if this is one of them One used to go to Stourpaine in the late 70's, owned by Roger Bastable I think

I would suggest all of the above, may be wrong often am!! If I remember correctly paulbrook on here had one for sale not so long ago

Sorry to appear a bit thick but Paulob1 are you a recovery operator already? What equipment do you have? If so how would you handle it if I broke down with a large MV in the North West?

That was never going to end well!!!

Was photographed in the early 90,s at a show near Northampton. Don't know anymore.....sorry

Is this still about??
