No Stolly progress this week, been busy getting ready to leave the unit and my house, I am viewing the Swedish MK1 tomorrow morning so I may be acquiring Stolly number three 😀 puddlethumper, johngarty and JeeExEll 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to find it however that's a much more interesting proposition. The main flaw IRC was the smooth tyres, which should be easily rectifiable, it's a real shame that it is potentially unrecoverable now.

Very rare Swedish varient with FOCO side mounted crane. It's on a Q plate, does that mean you can get featured in kit car magazines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heidel_Kakao Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 Did a deal on the ex Sweden MK1 😀 So that's Stolly number three, or Agnetha as I have renamed her.

I do wonder just what Taxation class these fall into when not in the Historic Vehicle taxation class... as a side note I noticed that GVO282J is an age related plate from 1999, yet she was first registered in 1994, do wonder if she was Q plated at first then in 1999 someone got her properly declared manufactured 1971 (id look into it deeper but im trying to stretch the £9 worth of credit I have left for as long as I can LOL) Heidel_Kakao 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is that an unfounded fear and getting the Q plate "fixed" has no danger of it being deregistered? In which case yeah I will get it corrected.

In which case yeah I will get it corrected. no I dont think there would be any danger of that, its the DVSA that will bother you about the road legality of a vehicle not the DVLA all the DVLA care about is that the vehicle is what it says it is and that its properly taxed etc Im pretty sure all you need is a suitable dating letter from whichever DVLA registered club (See V765/1) is responsible for Alvis stalwarts and some sort of covering letter then you should be able to get it Put onto an appropriate age related plate I think you can even also contact the MoD and get some info from them if you have a vehicle that came from them, like I think you can get its Military equivalent of a V5 to help with some processes, although I think thats mainly only needed for when your registering a Military vehicle with the DVLA for the first time this FOI is worth having a look at https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/635308/2017-06336.pdf 500tops and Heidel_Kakao 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the pic it looks like the original hose has “re-usable fittings” that have a habit of blowing the ends off twosmoke300, Sheefag, Heidel_Kakao and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be replacing all hoses including those for the crane etc and that goes for Biggles too.
