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
