First Register with DVLA

[gaz2258]

Hi all, I bought a Vespa P150x 1978 abroad and it needs very little, if any work (just a service) to get it on the road.  However, before I do that, I obviously need to register it.  I have all the paperwork I need and import stuff, but, whilst trying to complete the V55/4 for first registration, the Certificate of Conformity was mentioned a lot.  I don't have one of those.

I then found out that pre 1993 vehicles don't have them. What can I do to get the correct technical spec paperwork to complete the registration?  Does anyone have any info or advice that would be helpful?  I'm about 3/4 able to complete the V55/4, but a few boxes I can't complete.

Any help would be awesome.

Register
Machines that have not been previously registered in the UK will require:

DVLA form V55/5, Dating Certificate (available from the Vespa Club)
MOT (required if the machine is under 40 years old.)
Insurance Certificate
A photograph of the machine and the appropriate Road Tax fee (if applicable)
In effect this means that the scooter should be complete and roadworthy as Inspection may be required by VOSA (now DVSA).

All being well an Age Related Registration Number will be allocated.
