[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 94176, member: 58"] It's down to the description. A rebuilt vehicle is when an owner starts with basically a complete bike which is then restored or rebuilt replacing rusty, worn serviceable parts as required. I.e. Engine internals, wheel rims, exhaust etc. As long as the identity has not changed in that it's the same engine, frame, gearbox, forks etc as it was 30 years ago then you are not a reconstructed vehicle. A reconstructed vehicle is something that on owner has created within the last 30 years that may look correct but which is a collection of parts sourced from all over the place to create a vehicle. I.e. the classic story of "I started with a fuel cap and built this bike from what I could gather". I suspect your series D falls into the first description. If your still not sure, then to cover yourself, subject the bike to a voluntary mot. This is after you gave got the bike ready for use on the road though. Whether a vehicle is reconstructed or not only effects it's MOT exemption (or not) position. It has absolutely nothing to do with historic taxation class which is a separate matter completely.
