Registration

So after the joys of finally passing the IVA it was on to registration. There are some complex looking forms to complete but the whole process is documented on AK's website and its worth a call to AK to guide you through to avoid the dreaded Q plate..

In my case, as I have an old engine, I was looking at an age related registration so followed the DVLA procedure for a Kit Converted Vehicle.

So completed the forms, checked and double checked, included the first years road tax and sent them off.

Less than 2 weeks later my new V5 arrived with the car correctly registered as an AKSportscars 427 with a nice little Special Note that Emissions test is visual smoke only. This was a surprise as I had to pass emissions test in the IVA. It may be an error but as its to my benefit i'll await the first MOT and see how that goes.

Armed with the V5 - off to the local car spares place to get my new 'E' registration plates made up, contacted Footman James to change insurance from chassis number to correct registration then hit the road!.  - Magic!
