 I’ve dropped increasingly unsubtle hints to the kids that something like this would be great but they just sneer at me.

Welcome to my world -kids?Pah.

Can anyone throw some light on this?

Seller states the bike was imported from USA by a previous owner. He then found out that it had been written off in the USA, due to flood damage. Which he says means that it cannot be registered in the UK.

That sounds a bit odd to me, is that correct?

I dunno though I reckon that the first right hander would involve sparks and poo filled the pants. Is not really my cuppa though does have appeal. I like the dennis the menace tank. 

Sorry that rather doesn't answer your question.

DVLA

Vehicle registration: New registrations - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

Quote

If your vehicle is damaged
If your vehicle is classed as ‘seriously damaged’ you cannot register it with DVLA. You will not be refunded for any VAT and duty or vehicle approval fee you paid before trying to register the vehicle.

Serious damage means the vehicle cannot be repaired. For UK vehicles this means it’s a category A or B insurance write-off.

For imported vehicles, it might say something like ‘statutory write-off’, ‘scrapped’ or ‘non-repairable’ on the registration certificate.

Check with the registration authority for the country the vehicle is from to find out if the vehicle is ‘seriously damaged’.

If it is not ‘seriously damaged’, ask them to provide evidence of this.

Best bet for this would be if it disappeared for a bit and then appeared again as  a rebuild. It might get a Q plate.

wow, I can smell the death of the British motor industry from here! Any chance of getting it road registered? Although maybe it should go to the British Motor Museum...

A “development car” with only 8 miles on it suggests a lack of, er, development?

Pretty sure Coombs never made their special arches out of polyester and chicken wire.
