Just take it to post office, no MOT or V112 or insurance needed, done instantly on the spot, just remember to SORN it as soon as you get V5 back as its taxed for 12 months as part of the process and if its taxed, it must be insured, SORN it and it doesn't need to be insured (unless of course you're going to ride it on the road straight away)

My post office is blinking useless and threw their hands up when I asked them to do it! (something to do with the computer ::) ) So resorted to snail mail.....
And yes, SORN straight away or you get a warning letter from the DVLA ......

I'd bung 'Historic' in the tax class anyway....

No, the Post Office will give you a receipt for £zero paid and it's legally MOT exempt and registeted as Historic from that moment onwards.

Right so it gains the "it doesnt need an mot" status at that point....weve got a Toyota IQ which is tax free but every year i get a car tax renewal but theres no value on there....does it work that way for the Honda?

Yes, it needs taxing every year but at £0. Owners think it's tax exempt, it's not, it's just £0 annually for the tax.
