Updating V5 document.
Posted: Sat May 30, 2015 6:43 am
I've read up the posts on this subject as I am nearly at MOT stage. The car has been off the road since 1980. It appears that the first step is to apply for a V5C whilst noteing any changes.
Changes to my vehicle are:
Address.
Taxation class.
Colour.
Engine number.
Engine capacity.
The difficult one would appear to be engine capacity. The DVLA website states that to support this change you require an engine receipt, or written evidence from the engine manufacturer, or an inspection report for insurance purposes, or written confirmation from a garage if the change took place prior to purchasing the vehicle.
Since my engine is a DIY tall block conversion I can't provide any of the above. I did think of ignoring this change but caution tells me that these things become important if the car has an accident or is stolen.
Has anyone been down this route?
