V5C Registration Document Wrong Engine Size Cylinder Capacity CC
Posted: Sun Apr 02, 2023 2:57 pm
Hi all
I have a 1953 SII that I SORNED when she came into my possession about 18 months ago. I have been restoring the car since, and now want to try and get her back on the road.
I went online (Gov.UK) to tax the car prior to sorting out some insurance. The problem I have is that looking at the V5C it says the Engine Size is 918cc when in fact it is the original 803cc. I have a Heritage Certificate and also the original Warranty from Morris. The chassis and engine numbers all match up with what I have in the car. So, original, never modified. However, niether document states engine size.
If I fill in Section 1 of the V5C, to change details from 918cc to 803cc I am asked to provide evidence in the form of:
- a receipt for the replacement engine
- written evidence from the manufacturer
- an inspection report provided for insurance purposes
-written confirmation on headed paper from a garage (if the change took place before you bought the vehicle)
I don't have any such evidence as the car has not been modified!
So, has anyone come across this problem before, and have any advice on what I should do?
Regards
Steve
