The last one I had done was completed in under ten days Dennis. Keep ringing them, and if you have no joy - email your MP.

Re: DVLA registration request very slow

Thanks for the replies. It seems I have to wait patiently. What irks me is the threatening tone of an email from the DVLA which said something to the effect that I have to tax the vehicle or SORN it or face the consequences. Interesting given that I do not have a registration number yet and as I am...

Type 6 Carb Fuel Height

Can someone confirm exactly what the fuel height should be in a 76 or 276 carb please (I'm assuming both would be the same - maybe they are not...).

Tank Painting with Rattle Cans

I'm trying to paint my 1938 Ariel tank - the chrome was too far gone. I've got it primed, and a silver basecoat applied. Now I'm trying to paint on the red panels before lining it, but I'm finding that the masking tape (automotive stuff allegedly) is lifting the paint. I'd appreciate any tips - gene...
