thought it was just a matter of getting one from VCB but been reading about dvla rejecting some and instead insisting on one from piaggio, just reading about dvla changing some rules regarding dating certificates, after a phone call to them last week i was told to contact manufacturer for dating certificate then get mot. anyone did this recently?

I've just gone through retaining a reg for a '62 Sportique , last on the road in '65 with a buff logbook They rejected it at first but I'd sent some wrong paperwork Resubmitted it with photos of VIN plate and numberplate along with a dating letter from the British Lambretta Archive www.britishlambrettaarchive.co.uk/Everything came back with a new V5  |

Yep, tried dealing with the Vespa club of Britain, took 4 years, then for them to screw me over completely. I know that a lot of people rate the club, but they had no interest of helping me with my 83 P range. Total waste of space, they will never know of my Vespas as long as I've got a hole in my arse....
(Sorry chaps, but it was 4 years, lots of phone calls plus emails....)

i use the britishlambretta archive too , the sportique dave just retained a number on i'd sent the papers to VCB 1st ,never heard back from them ,never answered my emails .others have more success with them,but there members an i'm not the joining type.
the BLA dont mess about an are willing to date frames that arent totally original,after all these scoots have had a life,a more realistic/practical approach .just needs to be clear numbers an recognisable as what it is .H

Piaggio are still making scooters and are the same company that made the T5 classic, it says piaggio then prefix and serial on the plate, think thats why they are asking me for dating cert from them, the reg plate comes up on the dvla check when i put piaggio and the reg in but not when i put vespa in, frame came up as a ringer on a check i done, i never gave dvla the reg for this reason, and im having to register the frame as the numbers have never been on the dvla system. the same serial is also on the frame as well as the plate and it don't come up on scooterhelp either  |

if the frame came up as a ringer it will still flag up as stolen/written off or whatever even without you using the reg number, the frame number is on the system if the reg is, the two are linked..
