You need a dating letter from the vespa club of GB.
You send them some photos of the bike with engine number and frame number on
They send you back a certificate confirming when it was made
You go to the nearest DVLA office to register it, then MOT and tax it.
Doesn't take long.
I've got my 1960 one to do soon

Slightly incorrect information given.

You first need the dating certificate

Then bike need to be MOT'd

Then you need an insurance certificate on the frame number

Off to your local DVLA to apply an inspection date. Taking with you all you documentation filled out form V50/v55 plus driving licence or passport and recent utility bill. Also your bill of sale as being imported you may need to pay customs.

If you meet all necessary requirements they will issue you with an inspection date at a local vosa test/inspection centre.

Where they check all engine and frame numbers match and verify the bike is as per documentation

So its not quite as easy as a previous thread says.

And i know as i have just been through it all with my 1958
series 1.

I was only going by the guy we got it off.
Maybe he just made it sound a bit easier than it really is.
If you're taking it to the MOT in the back of a van, surely it doesn't need to be insured first ?
Our DVLA /VOSA people do home visits.
I haven't got a receipt for the '60, so maybe it's a no-go anyway

[mr swingbike]

DVLA require it to be insured when you apply for inspection.

You cant ride it because its not road registerd......

1st i have heard about dvla/vosa home visits and i have done to bikes and allways had to take them for inspection.

Check the facts out with dlva dont go on speculation.

OK, just double checked on the vespa club of GB and it came back with this

It's very easy to register an imported scooter. First of all you need to get an age certificate, you can do this either with the Vespa club of britain or the vespa veteran club and it cost £10 if you are a member or £20 if you're not and also get full membership.
Than you need a MOT (£27), a british insurance certificate, a form V55/5 and a custom form (VAT 414). The duty payable to DVLA is £50 and you need to add the value of a year road tax: £15 up to 150cc and £31 above
You can get the full import pack with all the forms needed if you click here

When you have all the forms ready you need to send them to your local DVLA office (not to Swansea)

In the envelope:

- Age certificate
-MOT certificate
-Insurance certificate
-V55/5 Form
-VAT414 Form
-2 form of ID with address on
-A cheque for £50
-A cheque for the value of a year worth of road tax
-All original documents you have to speed the process of identifying the vehicle

If everything works out you get a number plate certificate and a tax disc in two weeks, followed by the logbook within another two.

I mean they'll be no duty to pay anyway as it was imported from Italy surely.
The guy I got the '60 off brought back a whole container of lambrettas and my VNB
That was 3 years ago, do you think the DVLA will get funny about no import papers ?

[mr swingbike]

Just as i told you.
But you will still need it inspected after completing the paper work requirments.
