Just thought I’d add to this thread….I just finished the Tamiya TCS model to resemble my real TCS.  I’ve built a few models in my past and was amazed by this models attention to detail.  :trophy:

I'd hold your horses until you see if it's registered as a car. motorcycle, lorry, caravan or invalid carriage.....

My next door neighbour has 7 horses, I just have 7 Europas.

I have a motorcycle licence, but not an HGV licence. If it gets registered as a caravan, I had better watch out for "travellers" borrowing it.

I guess every bureaucracy has one or two people with common sense. Congratulations on finding her or in this case she finding you!

Whoopee, another success today. First, DVLA seem to have acknowledged they made a mistake with 3089R, then I got 4259R started after finding out the distributor lobes were wonky.

I am on a roll, what about buying some lottery tickets for tonight !!! £130m jackpot.

P.S. Lottery tickets bought ...............

Email received from DVLA today from First Registration Support Team Admin Officer. "Please phone me".

DVLA (lady with very strong musical Welsh accent) "I apologise, your application should not have been rejected."

Me. "I have registered 4 cars previously.

You gave registration number TFS123K to a car and used a VIN number of   72062420R.
                                            FWW506M                           VIN number of   744259R
                                            FWW497M                            VIN number of  4376R
                                            AOA 76M                             VIN number of   74/4129R

Well, they seem to be consistently non-consistent in what they think is the correct VIN number, from the same import information !

Well............. nice lady traced my paperwork delivered to Swansea sorting office at 12.15 today. She will get it at 15.00 today, and will sort it out on Monday.
