Registering Your Scooter
There is a lot of myth surrounding the registering of your Lambretta.
The situation is not helped by some of the forms that DVLA insist
on sending out. To assist you make your way through this process
we have written the following guidelines. These are guidelines
only
PLEASE NOTE: LCGB authenticate Lambrettas wherever they
were manufactured (Italy, Spain, India etc).
Registering A Scooter Which Has No Registration Or Log Book:
- Take a rubbing of the prefix and frame number
- write down the engine number.
**The best way to do this is to stick masking tape over your frame number, use a pencil and rub over the entire number, including the model prefix. Stick the masking tape onto some plain paper, and write the frame number on the paper as well, just as a double check.
Send both of the above to Jain, with a cheque or postal order for
the right amount and we will do your letter of authentication. In
return you will get your letter of authenticity and another letter
explaining what to do next. If you would prefer to pay via Paypal
using your credit card, please see below
We have written a short guide on the process of how you go about obtaining your registration documents, and what you need to do.
Registering A Scooter With A Registration Number
(No current V5 but documentary evidence):
If you have the old green or buff RF 60 log book, or an old pre-1983 tax disc, or MOT certificate you can use these as documentary proof that your scooter is linked to the registration listed on whichever of these items you have. Get your item of documentary evidence photocopied and then get the photocopy validated by your local VRO. Send a photocopy of the evidence you are using along with a frame rubbing from your scooter, engine number, a recent photograph of the scooter and form V765 to Jain and she will complete a letter of authenticity requesting the allocation of the original mark back to your scooter. This will then be returned to you with another letter listing what you will need to do next and where to send your paperwork. Please do not send original copies of your evidence and photos as these will not be returned to you. DVLA require all vehicles that are applying for plates via the V765 route to be complete.
Registering A Scooter With A Registration Number
(No current V5 and NO documentary evidence):
You will firstly need to prove entitlement to the registration number
on your scooter. Contact DVLA and ask if they have any record of
it - if they have no record of it you may be able to obtain an archive
library record from the original issuing authority (if they still
have the record!). You can find a list of the English and Welsh
Record offices at: www.oz.net/~markhow/englishros.htm
This website lists the contact details for the relevant original
issuing authorities. Once you have contacted them and they have
supplied you with a validated copy of the original archive record
then send this and the frame and engine numbers of your scooter
to Jain, along with a form V765. Jain will then complete a letter of
authenticity requesting that the original registration mark be allocated
to your scooter. She will then return all the paperwork to you along
with another letter listing what to do next and where to send your
paperwork.
