The rebirth of Lazarus

[Nurse Julie]

Ooooh, how exciting Mick, hope all goes well.

Exciting times Mick, looking back on your thread this was a major resto!

Keep finding small problems, the petrol tank cap clip, the bit that holds the cap shut, i broke it trying to fit the tiny spring. I cant work out how the spring is fitted, if anyone can show a close up pick it might help. Will be changing to historic and taxing it shortly, I already have the v5 in my name so should be able to do it at the post office, Nurse Julie can you confirm?

[Nurse Julie]

Yes Mick, just tick the box to change taxation class to Historic, take it to Post Office, they will give you a receipt for £zero paid for 12 months road tax, from that minute on, it's all legal to ride. V5 will come back from DVLA in a few weeks.

You will need insurance and to fill in mot exemption form, some offices understand you dont need the form but its easier to do it just in case,V112 i think, you can download it but too big to attach even though only 1 page

You don't need insurance to change it to Historic Bryan, unless you live in Northern Ireland, but I know Mick has insurance anyway. MOT exemption form not needed either, the post office just throw them in the bin, as its known that if its eligible for Historic, it became MOT exempt a year earlier on its 40th Birthday.

Last time i did one at my local.office they insisted on it, but then they also had to look up "historic" so that says a lot

😂😂😂😂😂.

Just because it is historic doesn't mean that all vehicles are MOT exempt. They also need not to be substantially changed. It's on the renewal each year, but surely you have to guarantee that also on the first time.

In my experience some Post Offices do the Taxation change some fail - I had to do it via DVLA despite what the website says about doing it at a Post office. I didn't even try the PO for my 500 straight to DVLA.

lazarus is now legal, the post office sorted out the historic status no problem so all taxed and ready. I did take a mot exemption form and she did ask to see it but all sorted in 5 mins. if it stays dry over weekend i will have a little ride to see how it goes, wish me luck!

Nice one with a PO that know what they are doing - weather for a test ride does not look promising where I live.

A very exciting moment coming up after a 2021 start to Lazarus. Take a screwdriver to twiddle the air jets on the road if needed and enjoy …..👍
