My log book has been issued for my first restored bike and its come back with the letter M for a 1974, however the letter is at the start of the registration indicating its a 1994, although the log book indicates a 1974. Is that normal I only noticed after I got a plate made up and it sat next to my other bike a p reg 1997

The taxation class is listed as historical vehicle and although I sent a cheque for the tax nothing came back indicating it has been paid but if it's historical does that mean that its tax free and perhaps they have not got back to me yet with my cheque.

Might be an expert at this by the end of this I hope.

Sounds like the dvla have made a mistake - I'd give the helpline a call to discuss...

david451:
gee whizz that's all I need but I'm out on it tomorrow so stuff it.

JamesH:
Yeah I'd go for it and take it up with them next week. Their mistake not yours and at least it's legally registered under that reg. number.

The DVLA are horrendous for stupid mistakes......for people who are employed to register vehicles, they seem to know precious little about vehicles.  I recently registered a GL1000 from the USA.....and applied for six months road tax....the V5C came back showing it as a Honda Concerto....complete with a 12 month tax disc (which I had to return).

I asked them to amend the V5C as a Concerto is a car....they refused unless I got written proof from Honda.....(computer says No!) ....so that's what I had to do, they are an utter PITA....and yet, if you make a simple mistake they will be only too happy to fine you.

I just registered a Triumph Trident from the USA........that has also come back with an error on the V5C but I just can't be bothered to go through it with them again.  If you ring them up and are lucky enough to speak to someone sensible, make sure you get their name and try to deal with them direct, the person I dealt with by post was a clueless plank, but I have spoken to sensible clued up people there.......it's a lottery.

In your case that's a mistake that definitely needs correcting pronto.......they must waste huge amounts of time and money correcting their own errors and fending off complaints.
