ivan edake Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 You have to sorn it as soon as you get it,you don't wait until the vehicle is registered in your name.When the vehicle is not registered in your name the only way you can do it is on Form V890.This form is not available at post offices it has to be downloaded and then printed off.Go to gov uk for the form.

Alcoblog Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 It is clearly a helicoptercar. Only if you're wearing Pete Morris's faulty new driving glasses in his 'Is what I'm seeing actually there..Or 'there'?' thread. Proper car. ---------- Post added 04-12-2016 at 20:45 ---------- You have to sorn it as soon as you get it,you don't wait until the vehicle is registered in your name.When the vehicle is not registered in your name the only way you can do it is on Form V890.This form is not available at post offices it has to be downloaded and then printed off.Go to gov uk for the form. Fine, I'll do it as soon as it's delivered. I'm currently trying to find someone who'll transport it (1 mile) for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I presume I don't have to SORN it just because I live in Crookes as you imply? Yep … I know it's free to SORN, just wondering if I have to bother as the car will be in component pieces, many of which will live in boxes on shelves. I was wondering if there's a point at which a car becomes a non-car and the rules don't apply … what legally constitutes a 'car'? I haven't got a problem with SORNing it (easy to do online I think) although do I have to do it now, or when I get the updated vehicle registration document in my name from the Swansea boys? ---------- Post added 04-12-2016 at 19:15 ---------- Yep … a doozey (not literally!). You could probably inform the DVLA that the car has been scrapped. But then you can't ever put it back on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 You could probably inform the DVLA that the car has been scrapped. But then you can't ever put it back on the road. As long as it has a V5 attached to the VIN and engine numbers it exists as a car as far as DVLA is concerned. If you dismantle it then you can put it back on the road, but the paperwork is onerouos, there is a VIC I expect and youd probably end up on a Q plate. Far easier to fill out the SORN and have done. And you only have to do it once now not every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking I'd have to, but was unsure of the rules. ---------- Post added 04-12-2016 at 21:30 ---------- You could probably inform the DVLA that the car has been scrapped.

shand1 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Just for a laugh... don't bother to SORN it, It will be much more fun watching the DVLA trying to clamp a car that's in bits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peak4 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 I don't think anyone's mentioned it yet, but do make sure you SORN it, on-line if you prefer, or you will also fall foul of the continuous insurance rules. The last bike I bought I tried to SORN before I'd received the logbook back. Consequently it was rejected by post, the rejection being delivered in a different envelope, but at the same time as the V5, so I immediately did it online. However, you can now change ownership online, during office hours, so you should be able to cover yourself on all counts quite easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
