You would probably have to contact HMRC with the frame number/vin tag number from the vehicle as i think it is registered to that

Why on Earth would they want to know the "original registration date"?

I think this might relate to the date of first registration in the UK - which hasn't happened yet as you need the MOT to do it??? Might be the problem

The usual reason for anything a bureaucracy does is to allow them to collect more money...

It's on some titles here because "in service date" is the basis for the true age of a vehicle. A 2009 car might not actually be sold until 2010. A 2010 model year vehicle might be sold in 2009. Certain things like emissions testing and valuation for taxes are based on actual first registration. But that kind of information just isn't available for pre-computer age registrations.

Dating Letter

Tushi,

How did you get on with registering your truck? I have a 1950 Ford F1 which I am planning to register very soon. I imported it into the UK myself so have the Florida title, VAT and Duty customs documents, only thing I'm missing is a dating letter. How did you resolve this in the end?

Thanks

Richard
