Getting a Q plate changed to an age related plate.

Has anyone successfully got a Q plate on a bike changed to an age related plate. The reason I ask is I have just bought a kawasaki from a mate that is Q plated, it has not been on the road since 1996, I am going to apply for a v5 using the frame number as I have told Swansea that I bought the bike without any paperwork, the guidelines say that a Q plate is issued to a vehicle that you cant determine the age, I know that the bike is a 1980 by the frame number and I believe it was Q plated in 1985 because the engine was damaged beyond repair much the same as a newer bike now would be classed as a cat C or D but now still retains its original reg. I am hoping that they cant find any trace of the plate and tell me to re- register the bike when I get it mot'ed I would be grateful to hear if anyone has had any success with this.

Trigger:
Impossible to get a Q off any vehicle.
The bike would not of been issued a Q because of engine damage. Only way is another frame that has V5  ;)

Nurse Julie:
A Q plate is / was issued also where the vehicles 'identity' is in question, ie a bitsa bike or a kit car. In fact, that was the main reason for having a Q plate issued. I have never known a Q plate to be issued just because of an engine change, that's a simple paperwork exercise of just having the engine number changed in the log book. I have never known anyone to achieve getting another plate issued, either by legit means or otherwise.

Bryanj:
Tried it no way, even if you do a concourse nut and bolt resto. The only way is a registered frame with V5

Cheers, I think back in the 80s they would issue a Q plate to a bike that was an insurance right off before they had cat C and D I may need to try and register a Canadian Frame I have.
