Dating certificate in order to register import

(1/3) > >>

llessur:
Done a few searches on this but I think I am still struggling to understand so here goes.
I have a US import 400f I wish to register.
I have obtained the forms from the DVLA
I have taken photos of the bike as needed
I have it booked for an MOT

What I do need is to get a "Dating Certificate"
Can anyone recommend who I go to and what I ask for.
DVLA told me I need to contact Honda

Sorry, I am sure for those that have been through this process it is very simple but first time arround it does seem daunting.

Do I need to insure the bike on its chassis number ? I was going to trailer it to the MOT station

Thanks in advance

Russell

Get a dating certificate from here:

got mine in less than 48hrs

I insured mine on the chassis number and then rode to the MOT.

Be warned, some insurance companies will only register on chassis number for 28 days or so. So you need MOT, and the DVLA to issue you registration in that timeframe. If your bike fails the MOT then thats another chunk of time.

DVLA were quick and turned mine around in 8 days.

Peter James insurance does not have a limit on how long you can keep it insured on chassis number.

Honda U.K. will only provide dating cert for bikes THEY brought into the UK. For an import the VJMCC  will do it for a price (no idea how much) and you may need to join the club to use that facility. Insurance is only needed on frame number when you submit the M.O.T. and other documents to DVLA to register it.

I found Honda UK to be no help at all with dating my CB750 K1, an import from South Africa, even though 5 minutes on Google would tell you what year it is, from the VIN number.

Their attitude was if we didn't sell it, we have no records, full stop.

The VJMC helped me out with a dating certificate in the end, it may be free if you join, I paid for mine (and joined later  ::) )

There is no truth in the rumor that I temporarily put on the plate of another bike which I own on to go to the MOT test, as that would have been illegal.  ;) Obviously I took it in a van. After May 20th you may not have to get an MOT if it is old enough for free tax, but I don't know for sure.

Once I had an MOT and sent the forms in the DVLA did dick me around and send me the forms back telling me there was no trace of the NOVA number on the system, I rang HMRC who told me that the DVLA were being stupid and that it was OK, I tried again and suceeded in getting a registration number.

I did originally insure it on the chassis number, then Carol fecking Nash tried to charge me an arm and a leg for altering the policy, I told them where to go and went elsewhere (Adrian Flux), so they charged me for cancelling it instead. They have lost my custom forever, and I will tell anyone who will listen.

I get all my date certs through the Aircooledrdclub club. £15 for Yams. £30 for anything else.
Also it is legal to ride to MOT without a numberplate. As long as it is insured on its frame number.
As for using Carol Nash. I'd rather shove wasps up my arse!
Sean.
