I sva'd my stuart taylor locoR1 at the end of march and registered it about a month ago as, make; stuart taylor motorsport model; locoR1, received the tax disc and form so i can get some plates made up a couple of days later, simples, or so i thought....

After spending 2 1/2 week in hospital i returned yesterday to find the log book had arrived, finally its all complete i thought, until i opened the log book to find under make and model it says 'INVALID CARRIAGE'

Its quite funny in a way i suppose but it's just hassle i could be doing without at the minute, bearing in mind how much effort and money it takes to register a kit car it p*sses me off how wrong the dvla can get something that is so simple...

Anyway just spoken to them and i've got to send the log book off with the errors circled and a covering letter explaining it, thing is i've got no confidence in this getting sorted out....


Anyone else had their logbook come back with wrong details on?

They're trying to tell you something!!!

Ooo, invalid carriage, so no road tax?

Useless sometimes they are... just like all the big .gov departments!

LMFAO!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHA bet that was a shock!!!!

O

you can park right next to the shops now

Sorry but that's really funny

so what speed are you now limited to??? probably about 5mph

so which class is it? -

1.3.1 There are two main classes of mobility scooter:

Class 2 mobility scooters can legally travel up to 6.4kph (4mph) on pavements and are allowed on the road to cross from one side of the road to the other. Within the category of Class 2 scooters some are more suited to indoor use as they are smaller and more compact.

Class 3 mobility scooters generally have features similar to Class 2 mobility scooters, but tend to be larger and can be used on the roads where they can travel up to 12.8kph (8mph). Class 3 vehicle users do not require a driving licence but should obey the Highway Code at all times. This includes complying with relevant eyesight requirements and not driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs etc. Class 3 mobility scooters are not allowed on motorways, bicycle tracks or bus/cycle lanes. Although legally allowed on dual carriageways, this is not recommended 1 .

When I received my log book, it had the right make and model, Tiger Supercat. Howver the chassis number was incorrect.. All I did was send it back with a cover letter and the documents showing the correct details.

Was sorted in a few weeks, keep a copy in the mean time.

i registered mine as:

make: MNR

model: VortX

it came back as: MNR Sports

wrong chassis number on mine - missed a digit out.

Sent it back (kept copy) awaiting new one now.

Then I've got to send off again to get my number plate
changed over

yeh no tax and i can park where i want, hmmm, i might just keep it like it is then

Thing is, as i said, i only returned home from hospital yesterday as i fractured 2 vertebrae in my spine (helicopter ride, 16 days laying down, 2 titanium rods, 8 screws and a bone graft from my hip, owwww) so maybe the DVLA are ultra efficient and had prempted my demise and registered the car to suit
