No ! or at least I didn't even though they had all the paper work a week before inspection. Inspection was carried out by a rather nice young lady who phoned me later the same day with the registration number so I was able to organise the number plates but she forgot to frank the envelope when she posted the paperwork to me . Had to wait a week or more for the tax disc etc to arrive.Have you been told it's OK to drive there?

no but im trailering anyway
im just getting excited about driving the money pit thats been living in the garage for 2 years i suppose ill have to wait yet another week

Mine took about 2 days from Peterborough. Stamford Halfords for the number plates and on the road about 30 seconds later.

Where in Lincs are you?

U2U

I took everything but insurance on my inspection (as they hadn't sent the cert due to a cock up) so they did all the paperwork ready for me to send/take the Insurance in . when the certificate finaly arrived I rang them and they were most apologetic that they had processed the registration without it by mistake . the reg doc arrived later that day and I was on the road by tea time

in all, 2 or 3 days max and should have been less

go steady

I got my tax and the paper work for my plates at the inspection so i was on the road straight away
That was at peterborough about 3 years ago

Kev...

and now im getting my hope up again
thank you folks
i guess i'll have to see what happens and if im not on the road i'll just have to work the wekend instead

i now have my reg number(they just phined it through) but he did tell me that my car would need an mot after 1 year as its been built from second hand parts
is this a new rule or should i wait until its 3rd birthday??
