Registering my 885 XL for a V5 document?

[simonhill]

It appears that the 885XL that I bought was never registered with the DVLA.
I have been in contact with the DVLA on a number of occasions and I can't seem to get to the bottom of this as they want the registration number! Having told them that it has never had one, they want me to confirm it's year of manufacture so they can allocate an age related number plate.

I have all VIN numbers of the tractor - who / where is the best place to find out the age of the tractor? I would need to then send proof of this information to the DVLA and then they will finally give me a number plate....hopefully?

Somebody like a dealer or vintage club should be able to confirm the year of manufacture, if you can get it on an official looking letter dvla should accept that

 

[simonhill]

The DVLA did advise that. I tried contact Case on couple of occasions but to no avail (probably have more important things to do).

Can anyone recommend a club that might be able to help?

Roughly what age is the tractor and do you have a serial number?

You could get it registered on a Q plate .

You could get it registered on a Q plate .

If you provide proof of year of manufacture DVLA will issue an age related number plate.
The proof (a simple letter) can come from the Original manufacturer, a Dealer or one of the DVLA recognised Tractor clubs or societies.

Whats the cost for dvla to issue an age related plate? cheers

 

[straightandnarrow]

It costs nothing. Just some form filling!

I now feel a bit more inspiration towards getting mine sorted!, cheers

There will be a charge for first registration. Depending on vehicle. Think my last one was £55. The rest is proof of age , your address, drivers license ., Plus vin numbers etc
