Hi, does anyone know how or what info the dvla will accept as proof of age for an imported scooter? I spoke to the dvla and they said scooter owners club or manufacturer. Has anyone out there done this?

Cheers Rob

Great info guys, it's what I thought but the dvla man was not so straight forward with answers.

Did you need to pay anything for the service?

I don't have any logbook or any other paperwork. Just have the frame and engine numbers to work with.

You can get the age of the frame yourself from the British Lambretta Archive.

You don't need any supporting evidence to get a Nova certificate number it it's an EU sourced frame.

A costs nothing.

First registration fee is £55 to DVLA plus your road tax (where applicable).
Did you have to do that?

One bit of advice; Don't go into this believing the DVLA understand their own rules.
