Be aware that the rules for vehicle registration will be changing next year.
If you have a vehicle that has been off the road since before Jan. 1998 then you do not have to declare SORN on it.
However, from the 1st
July 2005 all existing Registration Documents will no longer be valid. If you have a vehicle that is not taxed or SORNed then that vehicle will need to be at least re-registered
(at a cost of £19 for a new V5C), or possibly the registration may be reallocated.
Basically if you have a vehicle ‘awaiting restoration’, or even just a
frame that still has a V5, then you need to submit a SORN document ASAP or risk losing the reg. Number that goes with it.
SORN declarations cost nothing and all you need
is form V11 which you can hand in at your local Post Office or post it to the DVLA with a covering letter explaining that it was not previously SORNed as it was off the road prior
to the cut off date.
