Hi Guys,

Just bought an 85 TY250 Mono for restoration and it looks like the old mudguard might have had a reg number plate on it, both vin and engine number are correct. Would I be able to HPI just off the VIN ?

Thanks in advance guys

I needed to do exactly the same last year. I got a V62 application form and filled it in with everything except the unknown reg number. Sent it off with a covering letter.

Got a reply saying it wasn't registered. I doubted that to be honest as I was sure it was once registered but I guess they'd entered the chassis number in the computer and it came back with nothing so not much I could do but start the long winded application for a reg/V5C.

Cheers for the reply Fantic240motor, I'll do just that this week

going to try this on my 1999 montesa, i havent included a cheque and am sending it to the enquiries department, guess we'll see what happens

So !

i sent the V62 replacement form without the cheque, saying i wasnt sure if it was registered but heres the info,

and they wrote back and saying here's the reg plate, and send the cheque to get the log book,

Result !
