Sam dawes Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Hi all I'm currently restoring my late father's aec militant, she was brought from the previous own by my dad and sat for a few years she's never been registered and I've been told I need a 645 form from the mod, was just wondering how to get hold of one ?? Any help would be greatly appreciated many thanks Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Is that possible ? , I have my doubts. Normally a 645 was handed over by auctioneers or direct sales org. When you went to a local DVLA office for first registration - it was best to photocopy prior because once hander over at counter they never gave them back. I suppose it was legal title to ownership along with sales receipt. So how you prove your Militant was not nicked from a Material Park - I don't know. However I suppose 'Registered Keeper' is more important presently , I would try a FOIR (freedom of information request) - however I doubt if the MOD retained their copy for more than 10 years (I think this would be the legal limitation period).

Sam dawes Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 Thanks for that I'll give it a try, I'm.not holding out much hope I'll be honest I was hoping it might have been with the b cards I got from the rlc archives, it's a shame I don't know who my father brought it off to see if they had it.

ruxy Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 It's quite large , bigger than A4 & pale blue colour (at least the set part the buyer is handed).. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam dawes Posted February 7, 2023 Author Share Posted February 7, 2023 Is it worth me contacting the DESA or is that a big can of worms to open ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 I doubt you’ll get a copy of the 654, they were hand written. Your best bet to get it registered will be to have it verified by a club like the MVT. You’ll also need a NOVA. I’ve had to get one recently for a vehicle which was imported many years ago and HMRC were very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I phoned them and explained my situation, they emailed me a form to fill in. I suggest you do the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
