Hi I Recently (6 months ago) posted this on another forum.....may be useful info for someone.
Cheers
Phil


This is how i filled in my V55/5 and was successful so must be somewhere near. I'm certainly no expert at this, i've done it a couple of times using info gleaned off various classic bike/car sites and forums.
Also, these answers will only apply to a bike that is over forty years old, applying for first registration in the UK and with no original (non UK) documents.
You will need the NOVA cert and a dating letter.
Make sure you use the latest issue v55.........currently 8/18 (top r/h/s)

Firstly, in the box in the top right hand side of page one, state the country that the bike was purchased from. I stated the country it had come from even though i purchased it from a UK dealer.
Second, tick the RHD box underneath.

You only need to answer the following questions:

Q2...."Historic"
Q4....Tick the Registration fee box.
Q6...."Yamaha" / "Honda" or whatever.
Q7...."XT500" / "CB750" or whatever.
Q8...."Motorcycle."
Q9...."2 Wheel".
Q10...Main colour of bike.
Q11... "Exempt".
Q18..."2".
Q27..."19XX".
Q31..."Petrol."
Q32...Full frame number.
Q33...Full engine number.
Q34...Engine cc.
Q57...First half of your postcode.
Q62...Fill in your details.
Q63...Your date of birth.
Q64..."Pre-dates type approval"
Q65.. The mileage.

SIGN and DATE the form.

My covering letter / note was worded:

Please find enclosed completed V55/5.
I have enclosed a Dating Letter from .......... because the original non UK registration documents were unavailable.
I have listed Tax Class as historic because the motorcycle is over 40 years old (Manuf. 19XX).
For the same reason i understand that an MOT certificate is not required.
I also understand that i no longer need to enclose my insurance certificate.
Many Thanks.
Contact Details. Tel..... Mobile..... Email......

Make sure you send...Completed V55, Covering letter, Dating letter, NOVA certificate, Photocopy of your photocard driving licence and a cheque for £55.

Hope this helps
Phil

Did you have to send in photos of the complete bike and frame,engine numbers or just the form Only ask as very close to registering mine a CA77 1966

Trigger:
It is easier to have the bike MOTed as this will avoid any inspection and the paper work is processed faster  ;)

casperdog:
No photos required when sending in this form....you only need them for your dating letter.
