Update regarding application for UK reg:-
As this bike came to me with a VJMC issued dating certificate and NOVA number, I sent in an application to DVLA for a UK re. number by regular first class post on 10th January.
On 17th January an e-mail was received from DVLA telling me it would need to be inspected, and for me to contact the vehicle inspection company directly to arrange this. I did this immediately, and the inspector visited me on 19th January. He was here for no more than ten minutes during which time he simply asked if it ran ("No") and then proceeded to take a series of pictures from all four sides and also of the frame and engine numbers.
Today, 27th January the V5C was received confirming the UK reg. number.
Seems the system can work if the paperwork is correct, and maybe with a little luck.....
And thanks to Tony B, I now have the necessary missing parts to enable me to move forward with this one.
