[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 84674, member: 60"] On a lighter note I have an unfinished project (don't we all?) I guess its been sitting for ten years its a Trigrumph I have had the Greeves part at least 30 years with red v5 anyway with the doors of bureaucracy closing I thought that I had better register a change of engine (its a 500 5T)so I sent off the change to the DVLA back came a letter wanting receipt of purchase confirming engine details, or inspection report for insurance,or a written conformation from Meriden (some hope), or written conformation of change from a independent garage (what's a garage?) anyway I thought a VMCC certificate of date of engine would cover me (both frame and engine are 1958 (a good year) so thats what I did. But the real one liner was this gem at the end of the letter [B][I]"Please note:very few manufacturers produce an engine size of exactly 499 if your evidence does not provide an accurate engine size we may reject it"[/I][/B] In the end I did not reply to DVLA because after spending £25 on a certificate from the VMCC I had to wait quite a few weeks for it to be delivered and when it finally arrived, in the post box with the certificate was .... my new V5 Strange and varied are the ways of the DVLA [B][I][/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
