Dez, that isn't going to happen for a member of the public...

That’s absolutely where it belongs - in a museum, off the King’s highway and under lock and key.
Let’s hope they don’t get a breeding pair. 

Yep.  All completely normal.  Nothing to see here.  No reason to be at all alarmed or concerned.  

The internet is not a 'Safe Space'.

One thing I’m curious about is what makes you ‘check in’ on your cars DVLA record, and why by the sounds of it do you do it daily?!
Too much of a coincidence for you to have by chance checked in on the very day they issued a new V5?!
Ive only ever checked any of my vehicles if I’ve forgotten when the MOT runs out, just curious as to why you’d need to constantly check in on it?

No. 
 
And i’d have to assume the folks at DVLA have got bigger things to worry about.

still waiting on this sudden V5 to arrive, and see if theres any covering note as to WTF is going on
 
but I am actually even more pissed of now because unless there is a cover note says otherwise or gives a damn clear explanation as to what they are playing at.
 
 it looks like, on the surface, it looks like the DVLA have just patched the symptom and not the cause

you only get a double wording like that from the DVSA's MOT checker when a vehicle is removed from the coded system entirely (or of something obscure that does have a make code)
 
what it *should* display and *was* displaying until recently is "INVACAR UNKNOWN" (the DVSA has its own lookup table which was not fucked up like the DVLA's one, UNKNOWN is displayed when there is a make code, but no model codel recorded,, which is normal fair for lower volume production vehicles the DVLA only bothered with make codes for those)
 
 
so this tells me they likely just removed REV from the coded system and someone just manually typed in INVACAR under the manual entry system, rather then, you know fix the look up table they fucked up!
this concerns me quite a bit because it may well mean that REV will stop show up in statistics like how many left, and certain online tools like how I get/apply for her parking permit, something that clearly relies on the the vehicle being part of the coded system, may cease to recognise REV as a valid vehicle, which is all sorts of pain I dont want to have to deal with.
 
 
a prime example of this is @egg/ @Mrs6C's Invacar Mk12c from 1968, when this Invacar was resurrected with the DVLA, whoever handled that, never coded it in

so you will see despite it being a 1968 Invacar and SORN, its nowhere to be found in how many left, statistics, because it was never properly coded in
 
 
and even going to the start, note how in @egg's V62 response for it

see how make and model is completely blank? again thats because it was never coded in properly
 
so now effectively it seems they have fucked up REV's record in the same manner, and this also means all the other Invacars will not be fixed either
 
as above im still waiting for further correspondence from the DVLA so perhaps they will give an explanation, but right now on the surface it does not look good
and hopefully people can understand why I am quite pissed off about this
 

Doesn't look too bad, the gti badge is silver on these, that red VW rear badge wants throwing in the bin.

Just incase you missed this. Perfect for you until you get the invacar king pin fixed.

absolute bargain on that mileage, and a very easy collection location for you, you’d get a train from Liverpool Street to Colchester to bury st Ed’s then straight drive home, piece of piss
 
will sell very quick at that price 

I'm sure my S-Line came with the suspension delete option!

Yes you won 😂!
Problem with these things is when someone guesses correctly, you don't want to give the game away

Ahem....:D

"invalid vehicles have a fundamentally different control scheme and handling feel, of course if your not used to it, it is going to be terrifying and feel dangerous, but if you spend any actual time using the machine, you would quickly find they handle just fine"
how did you manage to roll the invacare at 10mph btw?

That's correct it'll be the oil pickup seal breaking up and should not be ignored at any cost.

Stagecoach were great with me when they battered my Van which had similar damage (lwb sprinter) they got it sorted at a local bodyshop and provided a hire van.

Judging by the absense of aftermarket stick-on tat your "friend" has never seen your car.
