I'm waiting for the DVLA to correct my V5 and return it at the moment, although I'm unsure what the first registration date should be....

i've used all parts from a 1988 sierra and a new chassis and body, I think it should be 2006 but allocated a 1988 registration, am I right?

Otherwise if its 1988 what happens when it comes to getting my next tax disc as I imagine they'll want to see an MOT certificate which I shouldn't require for another 3 years???

I hate paperwork.

you are correct should be first used 2006 with a reg relateing to the doners age and no mot for 3 years. i had the same problem at 12 months old took a letter or two to dvla to get an ammended log book and mot test refund but all sorted now

Thanks for that, I'd looked all over the DVLA website and as usual the info isn't exectly clear!
