Reading this thread with increasing depression - I've got all my paperwork ready to send in for a German import; just need the MOT (due Monday) and it all goes in the post.
Wonder if the old boy (I named it Herman just to be different) would be quick enough to outrun the local plod if I take it out for a scratch round the local lanes....

The dvla asking for ID seems a bit silly in most cases
I can understand sending a current council tax letter or bank statement to prove your address but I've always sent a copy of my driving license
Now is it just me or is this a waste of time as they already have it on file
If I have just sent them a bill in the name and address that matches what they have on file what's the point

I am 8 weeks in now and still nothing from them. Cheque ain’t cashed or anything. Just hope when they eventually process and issue my v5 they tax it from then and not when the application went in. Can’t even check progress on line as I haven’t got a reg number yet. A catch 22 situation. And breathe..........

i phoned them yesterday. They look for postcode and if it doesnt come up then they say the application hasnt been assigned to anyone yet. They won't commit to any timescale but said they are now moving faster through the June and July backlog! And only some of their team can deal with imports! i sent mine off end of july, they said phone back in a couple of weeks!

Got a nice envelope back from DVLA this morning with all of my original documents, application form and cheque. There was also a letter informing me that my application was refused because the date of first registration on my application was incorrect and I should contact HMRC regarding the NOVA process. Double check on the German log book and no, the date I submitted is correct. After waiting 40 minutes on the phone I got through to HMRC and explained the situation. After a quick check it turns out that they had a typo at their end showing the date as 1994 and not 1984. F&@k Everything back in the envelope and off to Swansea once again 🤨 John

And that was when it was a 1-2 week turnaround Steve

I'm gathering everything together to sell the 430, and realised I didn't have the log book in my name ? I spoke to Ian - the previous owner last Thursday, and he did it online whilst we chatted. The log book arrived today. Never had one so quick !

YAAAASSSSSSSSSS!!!
Postie at long last brought my V5C today. Bike is now registered as an '84 on an A plate.
Reg plate ordered tonight so after an extended break the 31k might just see the road before winter.
