ammoboot Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Hello all, After years of looking & learning I've taken the plunge and purchased a script GPW, Chassis No 11085, DoD 03-27-42. Hood No 2059784. She was released from service and first registerred in Pennsylvania on 11-22-1946. She was shipped to UK by her previous owner earlier this year. An early script on her original Midland Steel Co 'willys repro' frame she has retained many of her original features. The rear of her tub was 'clean' but sadly the previous owner drilled her to put the duty spare wheel and fuel carriers on. She's a runner but needs plenty work & TLC. Q: What DVLA forms do I need to fill out in order to register her? Sorry to ask a question for the hundredth time - I have trawled various sites but the threads I find are either confusing or out of date with regards to MOTs, etc. Also, any suggestions for reasonable car insurance? Cheers. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Steve, Welcome to the forum. You will need to get the Jeep verified by the MVT, then fill in a V55 with the dating letter and probably a NOVA form. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. Steve Welcome to the Green Machine mate! Don't know about registering but as for insurance join the MVT. They have a deal with some insurance companies and its less than £100 a year in some cases (mileage, storage, security etc depending!!) Mines a JapJeep,genuine tub and controls etc but on a 1987 Suzuki jeep chassis LHD. Looks the part, sounds the part, not pampered, 5 speed box, disc brakes all round, unleaded, 4WD and good for 70 mph plus!! Does me and gets the rivet counters thinking (for a change in some cases!!)
