YL 664?

[Stuart Joseph]

Good afternoon all. My experience mirrors that of Mike and others. I bought an RN chassis with documents to replace the chassis that was stolen. I submitted the V5 to Swansea only to be told that the reg no was on a motor cycle in the home counties. Later i received a call to say I would be visited by the police who were investigating vehicle thefts. A policeman from Dorset visited and examined the chassis and photocopy of the V5. His comment was that I was the rightful user of the reg no and he would be reporting this. Shortly afterwards the DVLA contacted me to say that in the light of evidence the motor cyclist was entitled to use the number and I could apply for an age related number and that I must be made aware that the number is the property of the DVLA and we were only 'tenants' !!

Regards from the creative county - Staffordshire.
