Receipts?
panichat - 14/2/07 at 01:33 PM

I've been making a locost out of bits of different cars, some reclaimed metal and (mainly) new metal. Being given a Q plate is fine.
The question is do I have to produce receipts for everything for the registration or SVA? For the majority of stuff I haven't got them.
Thanks for your thoughts.

If you are going for a Q then no not all reciepts, but you should have some for the dvla to prove you didn't nick anything!

Just make them up in ms-word and copy (roughly) the format of the others.

Remember to change the paper type, font and size, as that's a right giveaway

Mr Grumpy avert your eyes

I had no receipts whatsoever!!! DVLA didn't like it but hey... don't think they could refuse to register a car unless they could prove it was nicked stuff....
Anyway, does an Ebay receipt prove the stuff's not nicked?..... I'll be looking at Ebay over the next few weeks to try and find the stuff that got nicked out of my car last night- thieving scumbags. Nicked the front of my stereo (its way old but works) and a bag containing my stethoscope, blood pressure cuff etc.... Reckon they'll get 30 quid for the entire lot if they're lucky- going to cost me about 400 to replace the lots....

maybe they were'nt feeling well. Though I would have loved to see their face when they pulled out the stethoscope

Some stuff are things that I've picked up on ebay or have saved from cars that I used to own - not always easy to show where they've come from.
Are Paypal receipts and handwritten receipts viewed as acceptable?

my buggys shell was just a handwritten affair and the police had no problem with it.

Well if I find out who did it they won't be feeling well!!! I've got a sudden desire to explore the "like treats like" theories afforded by homeopathy and I think their butt is suffering from lead poisoning... On the upside found a cheaper supplier so its only going to cost me £245.85.... But, then again, I could build a car for a little bit more than that!!! Oh well, I knew when the windscreen went on so easily yesterday that I'd pay for that bit of good luck!!!

The main ones to worry out are the engine & gearbox (to prove age mainly for emissions) and chassis (or materials used in building it)

I had no receipts for either cars and i got sorted both times no probs.


mookaloid - 14/2/07 at 03:16 PM

I had receipts from ebay and all sorts of hand written and stuff from motor factors etc.

No problem at all.

Cheers

I had receipts for my kit and also the V5 sufficed as receipt for donor car.


panichat - 14/2/07 at 06:04 PM

Seems like the receipts are handy but not vital then ...
Cheers all

LVLA only wanted to see my steel receipt for the steel to prove I made my own chassis, I took over 200 in to show!
