classic motorcycle forum

Following on from this. Is the reason so many are offered with "no papers" because people have bought them in order to transfer the plates?

I just want to buy something legit and which I won't be filling in a load of forms, paying fees, searching for manufacture dates, insuring, MOTing etc and then finding out it's stolen or something. The plate can be non-transferable for all I care. Or if it really is commonplace and a simple process, then I'll consider no plate at all.

As I say, I'm more used to old cars, where no V5C raises suspicions.

Hi all,

I'm entering into the world of motorised bicycles by completing a 1000mile+ charity moped ride and have decided that the sensible thing would be to do it on a classic.  I've been into classic VWs for years and I'm handy with the spanners so I'd more than welcome a project.

The only real condition I have (other than liking the look of it) is that there must be a V5C present.

Anyone know of anything going?

Thanks in advance,

Tom
