Hi Lew

it has to be 17 digits 11 letters and 6 numbers make it personal to your self like your name the car make your date of birth hope this helps.

normally the dvla issue you with a number

some people have made their own up and got away with it

whicever way its supposed to be unique and previously unused.....

i would ring the dvla

i have just been into chelmsford DVLA with my own chassis no.

 

and was told it did not meat requirements

 

i knew about no 0 1

 

but it has to start with an s now and a few other things.

 

thinks its easier just to let them issue one....

[Guest smartfazer]

Gavin,

 

At what point and how do you go about getting DVLA to issue the Chassis No?

 

Surely it has to be before the IVA etc,.

 

Interested as I too will be using Chelmsford.

This is another great anomaly with DVLA / VOSA here in Lincoln they will allow your own "VIN" number, others will not......................

 

...............the only thing to do is ask the question....... like SVA/IVA unless you tow the party line you will not get the tax disc.

 

And without that you ain't got a car..............

 

ps.

 

our chassis # is only on a steel plate, not on the chassis????????????????? but we have 2, the second hidden!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guest gavinc]

my car is basically finished... well nearly.

 

just got to fit the front cycle wings and do some trimming.....

 

i went into chelmsford dvla and spoke to the examiner who said it was ok to bring it in now.

 

i rang up today to ask for a chassis no. as i have to stamp in on before inspection....

 

and swansea told me i have to put it in writing to chelmsford.

 

wil hopefully get into chelmsford DVLA tomorrow and see what they say..

[Guest Ian & Carole]

Hummmmmmmmmm

a few years ago when I had my 2b ready, I was told to take it to the Northhampton dvla for it's build up report , they gave my my chassis No, cos they like to keep them in order,( stamped it on a plate and punched it into the chassis) then I got my insurance on said chassis No. drove it to the SVA 2 weeks later,then a retest 2weeks later, drove my other car to Northampton MAC in hand for reg No and tax, on to Halfords for plates , took it for my first run and broke down,

happy days

just been into DVLA with donor logbook and a folder of receipts.....

 

filled out 2 forms.......

 

and have build up at 09.15 wednesday 5th august....

 

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!!!!!

[Guest gdc]

easiest way is to request a chassis no from dvla

that way there is no probs it has to be stamped and inspected into a non removable part of the kit ,

ie the chassis , a secondary plate is not aceptable .

I made mine up and it has loads of 'zero's' and 'one's' in it, Brighton DVLA didnt have a problem at all - maybe mine's very unique !

 

Use Paul Jepson and he can advise

[Guest gavinc]

had the build up today...

 

about 10 mins and talked for most of that.

 

the examiner said i have done as much as i can to get age related...

 

but its down to his boss!!

 

just have to wait and see
