Nae roadshows out at the moment sadly. What you really want as a shiter is a TayFM roadshow... on the rare occasion they go out these days it's in an E reg Mercedes truck... as its only ever been a radio roadshow truck it's got crazy low miles. Last time I saw it when i worked there it was painted dayglow yellow ? aldo135 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The post office kept the V5C to send to DVLA and said the DVLA would send us a new V5C showing PLG. We then got the V5C showing Disabled back from the DVLA with a letter saying they did not understand why the post office had sent it to them. Mrs6C sent them a polite letter saying she was not entitled to Disabled, we had paid PLG and please could we have a PLG V5C. Ahhh I see... I withdraw my surprise...

I withdraw my surprise... it also probably took so long because the DVLA was half shut down for the past couple months during the worst of the current situation, so things like taxation class changes etc where not being processed for example I sent off the V5c for REV to change the taxation class from disabled to historic vehicle (and update a couple personal details), on the 10th of march and the new v5c was only issued on the 28th of May!

(the special tool does lag behind the DVLA checker hence why @Mrs6C is not showing as the current keeper yet!) its interesting to note that its currently on an Age related plate from 1988, I guess back then they did not give a car back its original registration plate when you took a private plate off a car? its also interesting that looking back in the thread history that no one noticed this, I guess the V5 makes no mention about the plate being non transferable? (I know today if a car was given an age related plate it would be marked as non transferable AFAIK) I wonder if it would be possible to get its original plate of B477OFP back on the car (its not been issued to anything else AFAIK according to my tool) I wonder now with todays DVLA if you put B71RJF on retention would they give the car B477OFP back or would you just get another Age related plate? might be a phone call to the DVLA jobby to ask them whats what! What is this tool you speak of, I'm trying to locate a car that has been up for sale on gumtree for a bit but have had no response from the seller. Perhaps I could find out if it has sold already?

BeEP Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 I taxed the Allegro last Monday, changing the tax class to Historic. The (very nice and chatty) lady first tried to give me the V5 back; I questioned this and she checked with her manager so she took it back, but I don't remember seeing her stamp it. Will I get a correct V5 back, the same one with a letter wondering why they've received it or just never hear from them again? Place bets now......

"special" commercial tool I somehow wrangled my self access to mainly for invalid vehicle research (and consequentially thrown far too much money at!) the tool has no way of telling if a car has sold on gum tree or not, but I assume you want to check for recent keeper changes? perhaps you could check when the last V5c was issued on via the normal DVLA checker? does not necessarily mean there was a keeper change but gives a you a good indication that somethings happening! and updates much quicker then my tool which takes a day or 2 to update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Aldo135 confirms that the car is ready for a long drive and he had his fill of it, then I am open to suggestions. It does not have to come home in one go, it can pause with interested shiters, zig zag its way south in its own good time or what ever cunning plan is put forward? ------------ The car is MOTed and taxed. It will show up as insured on the database but my policy will not cover you so you will need your own third party. Is it reliable? truth is we don't know yet so I would suggest breakdown cover.

loserone Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I would love a go in this, and wouldn't mind tidying it a bit, so if Durham counts as south, that might figure into plans a little. Plus @Mr Fluffyballs could use it as his return transport next time I buy a shit peugeot from the south. aldo135 and 500tops 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
