    Wondered if anyone knows how i get the date of manufactor for my silver jubilee as the dvla don't want to help and only want money to tax it. The v5 says first registration 02/05/ 1978 and reg is wtt486s but it was released for the silver jubilee in 1977. The frame number is GP83942J as is the engine. They say i need factory record or manufactor confirmation on headed paper. Does any one know where i can get this from please.
    Regards
    Joe.

    No not yet but it looks like that's the route. Bad Billy I have tried the old restaurant where I walk in they all walk out. And I'm sure my body odour is not all that bad. Plus most won't let the motorcycle in. Being careful here with the wording.
    Regards
    Joe

    1969 onwards
    Note: The engine number is located on the left side of the engine immediately below the cylinder barrel flange. The number is stamped onto the raised pad.
    The frame number is stamped on the left side of the frame, on the front engine mounting lug.


    The first letter indicates the month of manufacture as follows:-

    A - January
    B - February
    C - March
    D - April
    E - May
    G - June
    H - July
    J - August
    K - September
    N - October
    P - November
    X - December

    The second letter indicates the season year of manufacture as follows :-

    C - 1969
    D - 1970
    E - 1971
    G - 1972
    H - 1973
    J - 1974
    K - 1975
    N - 1976
    P - 1977
    X - 1978
    A - 1979
    B - 1980

    The third section is a numerical block of five figures which commence with engine number 00100.
    The fourth section indicates the model.

    Example: NC00100T120R - N=Month C=Year, Number, T120R=Model.

    Which makes yours June 1977

    Rocker.
    Thanks for that. Now I just got to get it on headed paper to convince the bod at DVLA as they don't like to forgo there money from us hard working bikers. We have always been known to be soft touches.
    Thanks Again.
    Joe.
