Whats the script with these then? i mean how do you know if your car needs one or not?
i bought a cosworth 6 years ago damaged (light front) cat c .I sent the log book off not long after buying the car and got the log book back all registered in my name, and the car is SORN off the road at present.So as far as i can see all i need to do is get it M.O.T'd , nip down the post office for some tax and im up and running!?
or am i? will it need a vic test or something?

 

i dont get what you mean?has the car not been on the road for these 6 years??

 

If you have the new log book in your name then not to worry.

You have to have a VIC check if you buy a cat C car to get the log book back.

 

where would you be able to get a vic test done?

 

Your local VOSA test station, costs around Ł40

 

if you have the log book you wont need a vic

 

Well i was issued the log book - and that was 6 years ago, the car has been sorn every year via the DVLA's request ever since. On the DVLA website The DVLA state that they will only release the log book to the new keeper once the car has passed a VIC test.... so i guess my cosworth never needed one and im in the clear to get it taxed and mot'd .

 

VIC came out in April 2003, so if you bought it before then it wouldn't have had a VIC marker.
If the car was put on a Cat C before April but you bought it after, then it wouldn't have a marker either.
.

 

pretty sure cat c's have a special note regarding it on the front of the v5 at the bottom but as said it might not be there if it was before 2003

 

youve got some cars there fella!

the focosworth, the focus and a cossie!

anything else???

yeah you`re clear with that one mate, i had the same thing around the time the vic check came out, i bought a cat c car, applied for the logbook and it came through. i rang the dvla and they said if youve recieved a new logook a vic isnt needed.

 

Yeah ive got one or two cars hanging about here ..... ive actually got 3 black focus's gonna start collecting them lol

 

I Like the sound of that!! that must be whats happens here then. thanks mate
