If you want your tax free at that point, in August you will have to SORN it until they send your tax back then re-tax it for free. I would just live with it and then get it free at renewal. Got another 5 years to wait on my 750F2 as its a 1980 reg. Must have sat unloved in the showroom for 3 years.

Could be worth sending the money to Honda to get a date of manufacture certificate and send it to dvla, the date of registration is not what matters to them, it's when it was built that counts, and it was probably built in late 76/77, worth the dating cert fee to get tax exenption a few years earlier. :))

Stangely enough Hairygit, Ive just taken some photo's for VJMC to do me a dating certificate. Just waiting for them to come back then I shall fill in the forms and get them off. That should save 3 years of road tax. Great minds think alike!! 8)

Thanks Bryan, that is good to know because my MOT is due and I do not want to wait for the DVLA to spend a few weeks doing the paperwork. This means I can get the bike on the road straight away.

Roy, I seem to remember a thread on here that said dvla will ONLY accept dating evidence from Honda thenselves, someone will hopefully be able to post a link to the thread.
