Hi Lads, I need some advice……
Contemplating buying a small capacity, early 70’s bike from Spain, however the seller has NO documentation. There is a Reg plate on the bike.
I’m satisfied the seller and bike are genuine, and I can get it shipped back to the U.K. for a reasonable amount. Question is : Can the bike be registered in the UK without the original Spanish ‘log book’?.
Also I found a company that will handle the NOVA application/registration for you ( at a cost of course), and wondered if any of you had used such a service?.
Thanks in advance Iain

First of all DO NOT PAY ANYBODY TO DO A NOVA
All you actually need to do a NOVA is a .gov gateway account that you may already have if you do a tax return
Its an online form that you just need the sellers details, the vin number and the purchase price
If you have a receipt all the better but if not you can simply say private cash sale, no receipt given
As for registering it you don't need much
Its over 40 years so no mot required. Just send in an mot excemption form
Your receipt would be proof of ownership
Get a dating letter from one of the approved bodies
Really quite simple

Thanks Steve/Shaun,
I do have a govt gateway account, and it is over 40 years old, so a couple of boxes ticked at least!.
The seller will provide a receipt, but my concern is the lack of documentation.
I’ll have a look at the link and see if the dating side of things is expanded on.
Thanks again lads 👍🏻

Shaun, Looking at your ‘how to’ Thread it’s question 46 that is the sticking point for me mate, I really want to avoid it ending up on a Q reg, for obvious reasons ! 🤔

What Make is it
If Yam or Honda I have had dating from them
Don't even try Suzuki, don't ask how I know
My first attempt to register a Jap rz250 got rejected as they said I hadn't proved ownership or gave a valid reason for no foreign reg doc. I think they reject so many
I sent it back saying the receipt proved ownership and there was no foreign doc available
V5 came straight out after that
My kettle was the same scenario and it came out first time
