ive recently bought an old 1948 rover p3 that's been off the road since 1974 and is not on the dvla system ive spoke to the dvla and they have told me I need to fill out form v765 and send to the owners club to id the car. can I register it without the owners club they want £50 to do it, but I have so much paper work for the car, old buff book mot,s insurance docs from when it was on the road in the 70,s I have also contacted my local council where it was registered in 1948 and they have the paper work for it in there archives and are forwarding copys to me, the car is complete with all chassis numbers clear and can take as many pics for the dvla they want. so I can prove the car was once on the road and back it up with loads of evidence. I could understand paying the owners club £50 to id the car if I had nothing but feel they will just sign the paper work and forward it to the dvla. so what have people done on here in the past cheers

I've allways been told to go to one of the listed owners clubs (DVLA used to have a list of "trusted" clubs), i even confirmed the ID of my own car once (being the vehical owner and the clubs tech adviser made no differance to DVLA) i used my own files to prove it's history same as i would of done independantly but they wanted a headed paper from a club on the "list" so i printed one off at home and sent that in  I guess DVLA can't know everything about every car so they rely on selected clubs to give advice, what makes those clubs "trusted" i have no idea AFAIK it's just applying to be on the list, IMHO £50 is a bit much for 2p worth of paper and ink, i know clubs need funding but £20 is more the mark i feel ? i meen IF the club had to seach for lists and inspect the car then i can see £50 being more the price but as you say if your the one doing all the work it's a bit steep. Not much help there was i  |

I know £50 seems a lot or they said they would do it for £25 if iam a member but that will cost £30

If you have the old log book (the hand written type) I don't think you need to go via the owners club as that already had all the details on it? Mind my parents have been trying to do the same for the last 4 months and are just playing letter tag with all the different departments at the dvla......

I don't think it matters which owners club you use providing they're part of the V765 scheme. Might be worth shopping around. The scheme is what the DVLA came up with after they shut the local DVLA offices. All they're looking to do is to ensure that the identity you're claiming belongs to the vehicle you're trying to register.

the v765/1 says
b. The application must have a V765 form signed, stamped and approved by the relevant
vehicle owners/enthusiasts club (for their make/type), shown on the V765/1 List of
Vehicle Owners Clubs. The club will charge a fee to process the application.
I have emailed a couple of land rover clubs to see if they could do it, thought they would be the best ones to try first as they are rover

I think one of the reasons why the owners clubs verification is required is to confirm it's original and not a hot rod etc. Of course that doesn't mean you can't have minor changes like different engine, disc brakes and such but it all must fall within the normal points system plus unmodified chassis.

What would happen for a rare or unusual car that has no owner's club?

If you ever have to post anything to the DVLA make good photocopies of everything before you let them out of your sight & never send them the original buff logbook or relevant paperwork always copies. THe owners clubs will look at the original. Surely £50 isn't a massive amount to get the old car back on the road. No tax no MOT so look at it as a saving ?

I know £50 not a massive amount but money is a bit tight at the mo so any money saved can go on the car just thought it was a bit steep for a club stamp and a tick in the box when I have gathered all the paper work iam still waiting for the forms from dvla have rung them a few times to send them out but not coming, I know I can download the v765 form but the v/55 form you cant so just waiting at the mo |
