Ayrshire Man Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 (edited) Just got a Alphard delivered today. Now waiting for DVLA for registration. I am located near Ayr Scotland. Because it is not registered having trouble obtaining insurance. Any ideas? Edited October 22, 2021 by Ayrshire Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire Man Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 Well I am gob smacked because today the post brought my registration document and V5, only a week after they were sent to the DVLA. Perhaps it’s because I am the first person on the registration document. So this meant I could get registration plates made up, now there lies another story, I tried the local places in Ayr on the DVLA list to get number plates made. Apart from one place nobody could do it today because of the shape being a import, the one place that could make them made them up for me before I arrived, I arrived to find out they were incorrect ie: a square rear number plate and a standard rectangle front number plate, I said they are incorrect they must be 13x7 were I got told to have square front number plates was illegal. I informed the person it was not as it was a import and should have checked with the DVLA. I came home to check further afield to find a place that did import number plates as they supplied them to a local Campervan company. So I went there, they checked with the DVLA and made the correct number plates up while I waited. Afterwards back home, fitted them, got insurance and drove to the nearest petrol station to fill up. So now on the road all legal. If I see any Alphard’s around Ayr I will give you a wave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire Man Posted October 23, 2021 Author Share Posted October 23, 2021 My Alphard is a 2006 AS model in silver gray bought from Plexus Motors in Keighley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rojie Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Why didn't Plexus Motors get it registered for you as part of their sales service ? Presumably they got an MOT as one is required before registration ! I have not heard of the number plate size problem before. Thanks for sharing that with us all. Enjoy your new machine. I'm sure you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
