Registering an Imported frame

[grant965]

Hi, looking at getting a frame but it says it is a US import that has 'No V5 as import' what do I need to do to register it? Had a quick look and I need to know when it was made, is that going to be more difficult/expensive with just a VIN number.
Also that I will need to pay some form of proof to show import duties have been paid, the guy is from the UK on ebay so how do i go about that?
thanks

Not much help but when I registered an import they needed insurance and a current MOT to issue a logbook along with a tax disc and reg plate. I'd try to get it mot'd by rebuilding it from another bike and go from there. I have a German TDR unregistered and a British frame with a log book, your doing it wrong

I'd think with the frame number it'd be pretty east to establish age as for the import duty I just ticked 'paid'

Hi

To register it you need proof of age. Few places around that can provide that proof, such as the VJMCC. However they will be providing age for a bike, not just a frame. If being legitimate you are probably a bit stuffed as you will be trying to register a bike made from parts of several others and so of indeterminate age, which should result in a Q plate.

All the best
