When Nottm LVLO was still in operation they would not accept copies of insurance certificates for obvious reasons.
 
Over time probably as a result of Insurance Documents being sent as attachments over the internet by Insurance Companies for the owner to print off the rules seeme to be relaxed as long as its did not look like a straight photocopy around the edges etc.

Ash,
I just got my V5c this morning for the Shiny Orange 550.  Photo of Driving licence, photo of Nova details, NO TITLE, photo of Council tax bill (eventually - my fault!) original of embossed VJMC dating info, application and £55 cheque all sent recorded signed for (twice - due to my failure to verify my address the first time). Documents returned today - V5c, my photo of Nova, original VJMC dating letter.  Plus a separate letter with all the usual guff about plates etc.
They have also taxed it as Historic but I haven't insured it yet!! - so likely to get a plod letter before I do.  Normal DVLA cock up included too - they have it down as a CB500 not 550 but capacity is 544.  I'll send it back after I use it for a rear plate, just to give them more work.

Ian

Forgot to say DOM June 75, issued with N plate

Just SORN it Ian until its ready to use. You'll need to tax it again for £0 when you're ready but takes less than a minute online.

Good call Julie,
I didn't want to contact the insurance yet as they slap your legs for £30 for any changes.  The 1500 Wing is on it's way to pastures greener but the new 350 Forza has yet to arrive so I intended doing it all in one hit.  Also might be moving my BMW R100 RT on (the 2 wheeled grey Fergie!) Anyone want one??

Behave yourself Roo,
They're bloody awful! Never was much of a salesman!  I'll send some details via a pm and pics when I get your details - I haven't found a way of adding attachments to pms (no I mean messages!)

You can attach photos to a PM but only if you use Tapatalk. The forum s/w is too old fashioned to offer much more than just text.

Mine’s a J.
The V5 says 1st April 1971. That’s either a joke or lazy (default to 1st of the month).

I may have had a hand in that Steve
