Hi
I have recently bought a second Georgie Boy RV, which was registrered in Northern Ireland.
I have been told by the DVLA that it has to be reg'd on a "Q" plate, which is a non age related mark.
DVLA advised me that if I could prove the year of its build, I could be issued with an age related mark.
I spent quite a few emails to and from various US depts and finally recieved an email confirming that my Ford stripped chassis was produced on Nov. 5th 2001.
DVLA didn't like this because "it was an email not an original copy".
So, back onto Ford US who kindly sent me via post, an "original" copy!!
DVLA has now said it requires "proof" of build date from the coach builders.
Email Georgie Boy ( who is Coachman) to be told that as Georgie Boy are no longer in busissness, there are no longer any records.
Is there anybody who knows where I can get such information??
Or has any other ideas of how I can solve this issue??
Unfortunatley, the DVLA do not like to remove "Q" plates once they have been issued.
So far I have a letter from Ford US stating that the stripped chassis was built on Nov 5th 2001, sold to the coach builder on Feb 25th 2002 and the warranty started on 3rd July 2002.
The official Georgie Boy label, attached to the inside of the drivers side, is not "proof" either as "anyone could make one of those"
I have also been onto DMV.org ( I no this is not the official DMV site) and carried out a AutoCheck Vehicle History Report, which confirms all I already know.
Any help would be extremely welcome.
