DVLA are completely useless - Borehamwood (A huge office) has one lady dealing with all the applications - I was told she would call me back but was
only in today, waiting for the call - I call again - they refuse to put me through but promise a call back. Gets to 2 so I decide to drive there in
person (40mile round trip) get out of work on holiday, and they call me as I'm leaving to say she's gone home now so will call me
tomorrow...
I don't understand how they are so hugely rubbish at basic simple tasks.

Congratulations on a fantastic achievement, well deserved. Try not to let DVLA get to you too much, just enjoy the grin of getting hold of the MAC
certificate.
Look forward to seeing the car in the flesh at one of the shows this year hopefully.

Congrats on getting this far!
To lighten your mood a little, a friend of mine started to have similar problems with the Bristol DVLA office. He decided to play at having learning
difficulties and dyslexia and all of a sudden they couldn't do enough for him and had his paperwork sorted out for him in no time! 
Now I must remember to tax mine today!

DVLA just called me back after 4 callback requests to tell me they want to inspect the car AGAIN!
Needless to say I've started the formal complaint procedure.

James,
If it gets too much contact your local Member to help. Your car is Internationally known (hell just point out this forum and how many views) is a
symbol of one Englishman's skill and dedication blah, blah.... and is a disgrace on the English Public Service whats happening blah, blah...
May help.
It's coming....

Another week has passed - The application was passed to DVLA swansea because borehamwood "couldn't decide"
I've called again today to find out why they've had it for a week at head office with no result, and it's been escalated in
swansea!!
How on earth can it take almost 7 weeks now to decide whether it can have a new reg? It's hardly the end of the world if they get it wrong!
Complete waste of time.

After calling them yet again, they tell me swansea said no (this is despite the inspector OK'ing my argument that the transmission should be
classed as the chain drive in this instance)
Told me now they want to assign a fresh chassis number!!! This will be sent out later this week and then I have to have it stamped and signed off by a
garage.
Needless to say I went completely off on one on the phone, didn't help but the lady at least agreed to send off the new chassis number today.
Oh and they've decided they want all the paperwork resubmitting because it now requires the other V55 form.
An absolute farce on every level. Martin I wish you the best of luck!

Sorry to hear all of your problems James.
The reception I got last time I went down to the Wimbledon VRO has probably set the tone for what I can expect......much the same as you.
My sva is this Monday, so one step at a time.
I go with the expectation of a fail so that I won't be disappointed.
My aim was to get the car on the road for stoneleigh. You never know!

Tbh i had issues with swansea as i wanted to use my own chassis number. i really hope you get this sorted dont give up. they really do take the pisss.
i really cant see how they can tell you to amend the chassis number when it has been through the sva . i was really hoping to your car at stoneliegh.
And i bet you are too.

Thanks  no worries
I've finally had DVLA agree to process my paperwork, it will be a Q plate though, so a lot of wasted effort there!
Ah well, I'm sure the thrill of having it on the road will help me forget!
