Insurance on frame number

[MrDavo]

That was in October. The box was there on my form too, but for some reason that only applies if you live in Northern Ireland, I don't know why. The booklet ' How to import a vehicle into the UK' says the same thing.

I did wonder if they would send the form back, but although they did, because they didn't see the NOVA number I provided, insurance wasn't mentioned.

That said, as it's a 1971 bike I get free road tax, if you are paying to tax it maybe you need to provide insurance details for that.

 Ok, and you have since got a plate number and V5?
Now I am tempted to give it a try,
mine is also tax exempt.
My aim is to pass MOT first anyway.

Hopefully yours wasn't just a one off.

I'm pretty sure that even if you are taxing a free road tax vehicle you still need valid insurance and MoT.
Don't see why zero cost tax would change that.

Still at this,
almost time to insure my other bike but the best quote cover doesn't do frame number cover (for this bike).
I am in the process of taking both bikes to do an MOT but..
Can anyone help me to fill in this tick box. (V55/5)
I really hope that "insurance" can be left blank for this process.

Thanks

I always had to produce insurance cover on frame number(done several but not for a few years) and I found most companies will issue a cert on frame number BUT only for a limited time even though they want a years premium

I've spoken to DVLA customer service and received confirmation of compulsory insurance and tax (even if it is exempt).
I am tempted to send the paperwork without the insurance, the best quote so far is £97
