And yet they still now want to come and do an inspection which will take apparently 5 days to arrange and then....

Worse still because I could only insure on the vin number for 4 weeks apparently my insurance which cost me 70 quid will lapse and will need to be re taken out

How much evidence do they need

Maybe a picture of a japanese factory worker off the original line holding a calendar of 1971 up would have helped  :) :) :)

Ridiculous Paul.

Anyone know if you have the original USA title... is it any different?

Trigger:
New one on me, never known the DVLA to come out to do a visual inspection. They can make an appointment for you and the vehicle to appear at Swansea. I do know that in the world of VOSA that the DVLA will pic a vehicle every now and again for inspection and this is happening more with the large amounts of foreign imports.
I do know someone recently that bought a Harley imported from the states that turned out to be on the stolen list.

My mate in York bought a CB500K1 from DK a month or two back. DVLA have told  him that they may need to inspect it. But it had no title, only the  dating cert.that he is obtaining from VJMC

MCTID:
It's either because they suspect the Vehicle might be 'dodgy' or you are unfortunate that it's just one of the routine/ random spot checks which they have to carry out to demonstrate that they don't just register 'anything which comes along'.

I bought a bike some years ago and a few days after changing the log book ownership details I had a visit from two Detectives who gave it the once over...........to check that the frame and engine numbers matched as it had been in an accident.

They looked a bit sheepish when I told that that the bloke I bought it off was a serving Policeman.

I'm sure your Insurers will accommodate you if you talk to them.
