Registering a Norton

If the original registration had expired and the number re-issued to someone else that the DVLA cannot issue that number to you.

If it has not been re-issued then I believe that you could get the number issued to you especially if you can find the old buff logbook.

Talk to the single-cylinder Records Officer (under 'Records' on the drop-down menu on the left).

It can be done if everything is in order which means an old log-book these days and a vehicle that retains the original major components, but it's best to understand the rules and make sure that the dossier you submit is completely in order.

DVLA used to accept a tax disc as back-up paperwork which was a bit daft really as it doesn't provide a link to a frame / chassis number.

Finding the old registration levers/records if they exist may help. I used to do that for a Ford owners club I belonged to just after I worked for DVLA.

i see you've found the logbook ..... no need for the records then!

Hi Robert,

The more information and evidence you provide the more chance you have of getting the reg number back where it should be.

When I did my Model 7 I sent a copy of the original buff log book and a copy of the archive record obtained fromthe localcounty council (bike bought because it was locally registered). I could have submitted the tax discs too (all twelve of them)but I had two things that linked the reg to the make and frame number so there was no need.

It took them two weeks to send me back a shiny new V5c with the reg down as non-transferable.
