Thing is i have to include £55 registration fee plus cost of tax but as its manufactured nov 74 it should be historic , gonna put it down as historic & only send them the reg fee & see what happens .. Keep fingers crossed eh !

So in order to get registered, you have to send back the Nova certificate/sheet which has just come from DVLA a few weeks ago?? Surely it's allready on there database? I realise I'm expecting them to be efficient and to know what they are doing!! :)

Yes i'm sure they could link hmrc/ dvlc datebases together & do the whole thing online but they dont :smt102 they want me to send proof of insurance & mot as well which is information they already Have & could access if they could be bothered :roll:

NOVA s an HMRC system. And , ur glorious Presidents case apart, are pretty effivient with their serice. ( Within the stupid handicaps of total system from design stage. ) The Customs staff ar usully very gelpful , if you phone them too.

DVLA , on the otherhand, are the absolute epitomy of goeverment beaurocracy at it`s arsehole worst. !!!
