Dreams of Victory...

Well, good news! After the MVT dealt very quickly with the inspection of 519, the DVLA also did their bit very efficiently! Within 3 days of me sending the info off - the old V5, MVT dating certificate and a cover letter - they called to run me through what they were going to out in the notes section on the front to see if I was happy. Unfortunately, the first V5 sent had 'Manufactured unknown' on the front but a quick phone call to DVLA generated another which accurately places the manufacture date as 1955, making it eligible for Historic taxation and now properly MOT-free without the need for a plating and testing exemption.


Also, Tony has now had the last part of the braking system back from Past Parts - the master cylinder - which has been re-lined in stainless steel and painted, and which is ready to go back on next week:
