Anyone know if this 3 1/2 s still in existence (UES 160S')?

Post by pgoo »

Hi all,
I used to own a 3 1/2 Sport registration UES 160S, 1980 model, and am wondering if it is still in existence? I used to live in Fife Scotland, but it may well be somewhere else now: I think I sold it to someone from the Dundee area.
Info is only really for my own interest, though I can supply some pics and info on its history to its current owner, if there is one.
Thanks.
Paul

Hi,
The reg is not on DVLA website, I suppose it's now long gone!

I wouldn't give up all hope, I've just been on the DVLA site and my 350 isn't listed nor the 250 I sold last year which is still around. The modern 250 I own is listed as is a Suzuki 125 I sold a while ago. Not sure why this is so, any one any ideas?

Many, many vehicles (most?) have incorrect details on the DVLA database. You have to use EXACTLY the details on the database to come up with a match. The Make might be Morini, or Moto Morini, or Motomorini, or in the case of one my bikes, Moto Morini Dart K4.

If the bike was still on an old V5 (not V5C) and hasn't been on the road for a while, it may not be on the database at all, but still in a dark basement filing system. I had to wait four months for a doccument because someone actually had to go looking for the bike records.

Whereas my old Velo (last logged back in 197dot when we were in Somerset) turned up on the records within seconds of asking.

Technology - you either love it or hate it!

So, now I'll get the dust sheet off and just go ride it...

My bike was on the database as a Moto Morin 1500
and when the annual tax disc reminder came it was shown as a Moto Guzzi 500.
I had to take a trip down to the local DVLA office and get them to update it.
