Hi Mike,
I guess not, my successful application this year before the MoT changes for a 1966 A65 contained the following:
• V55/5 application form
• Original BSAOC Vehicle Report Certificate
• MoT Test Certificate
• Photocopy confirmation of my name and address using both parts of my photo card driving licence
• HMRC NOVA acknowledgement letter (the frame came from the USA)
• Images shown LHS, RHS, frame number and engine number of the motorcycle (I didn't have a vehicle inspection)
• Cheque £55, for the first registration fee.
I received the registration in less than 2 weeks, it is a nice selection of numbers and letters
Last weeks application for my sons 1966 A65, after the MoT change contains (I'll let you know how he gets on):
• V55/5 application form
• Original BSAOC Vehicle Report Certificate
• V112 MoT exemption form
• Photocopy confirmation of his name and address using both parts of his photo card driving licence
• HMRC NOVA acknowledgement letter (another frame came from the USA)
• Images shown LHS, RHS, frame number and engine number of the motorcycle
• Cheque £55, for the first registration fee
Best wishes...
