Re: Spanish import 3 1/2 project.

Good to hear your registration has been sorted George, as soon as I have a complete bike I'll be going through the same process, only I have no docs for it-nothing! Any tips? :wink: All I can say is that I had what I thought was a complete "Doc set". DVLA wanted details in English of the ...

Re: Spanish import 3 1/2 project.

Well, "Alls well that ends well". I just received conformation that the registration has come through for the Strada. This has been for me a "Fast Track" experience. I got the bike in May and had it ready for Mot on the 9th of August. I have had a great deal of support with the r...

Re: Spanish import 3 1/2 project.

Thanks Steve. I remember him telling me to get the docs in early to prevent any problems. I didn't think this would be a problem.
Cheers.

Re: Headlight wiring

The problem with mine was that the headlight had been changed from the original and a separate + feed had been put into the equation. There is a link in the original headlight switch that is supposed to feed the main/dip switch for either Main or Dip. This was not the case with mine, I don't know wh...

Re: Spanish import 3 1/2 project.

So I need some help and advice here, please. The DVLA have sent my Documents back, which include a Spanish "Duplicate" log book in Spanish. They say this is not good enough for the vehicle to be dated correctly. I have looked at the DVLA List of Vehicle Owners Clubs to get dating informati...

Tank Badges.

I guess it's a long shot, but has anyone a pair of Tank badges they don't need or are in a bad way. I am doing my Strada project and have a need for some badges.
If it's something that is impossible then let me know, please.

Thanks.

Re: DVLA V55/5 Registration Strada 1983 Spanish import

Hi Mike. Yes the 1st thing I did was to register the bike with HMRC and I have the Registration Number from them. I didn't get a certificate as such. I got an email to say if they wanted anything else they would contact me. So as far as I am concerned they said no Tax to pay. Have you done this then?

DVLA V55/5 Registration Strada 1983 Spanish import

I have been struggling with this for a couple of days. Checking what others had done in the "web" to get this registration sorted. So in the end I rang the DVLA in Swansea. Fill in form V55/5, but because the vehicles is over 10 years old, no CoC, Certificate of Conformity is needed. They ...
