Fasterthanyou Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 The V5 should give its manufacture date, DVLA will only require this as proof and infact only except that, so whatever date is on there is the date they will go by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toni1 Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 no that wronge the v5 only states registration date not build date,if i can prove it was built before 1973 the they will except it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upk Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 pm 1900SR he has the a series register and will tell you the build date, he may need your reg and chassis number! regards kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fasterthanyou Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 My guess would be though that DVLA would take it from the registration date rather than the build date, I'm just guessing as I have never had to do it but we all know what funny f*%&$"s they can be!

pat Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 if access to the factory build records can prove it was built before that and it would then qualify for historic road tax , then dvla have no option but to accept it as they are obliged to go by build date not the first registration date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Hi i have an A series showing its first registration as august 73 and has the washer jets through the bonnet ,what are the chances of this having an earlier build date or even getting tax exempt...many thanks ...mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
