got the new style one with my new toy a couple of months ago, got one through for the car but still waiting for the other bikes one to come through - suppose our taxes have to be spent on summit

Not had them for the bikes either,

Are the old ones going to be invalid now ??

I thought of that question too Shell. When I thought I'd lost my V5 (log book) I enquired as to how much to replace it and was told £25

expect I'll be getting 1 of the new ones through the post shortly for the Beemer, what already suprised me was the new style MOT certificate that came with the bike

YEH it surprised me the new one thought it was a scam. SHELL acording to attatched letter the old one should be disposed of.[not binned unless shredded eh?].

I've just had a look at one of mine I've had since Feb this year and its RED, never noticed it was different from others.

So the theft happened a while ago then?

Looks that way Sandi. I bought my bike in March and received the red V5 at the time, unless they were planning to change them anyway and the theft is just an excuse for wasting money.

<!--6e052d28b1806771e2d163a041d4a5d4-->With the new MOT paperwork it is now just a receipt to confirm that the details are held on the VOSA database.

Paperless that is the way things are going. I read somewhere, I think MCN web site, that it has been proposed to do away with insurance certificates, paper part driving licences etc. This apparently to embrass the computer age. All these details are held on central data bases making cetificates not worth the paper they are written on. Number plate recognition tells all. If you are buying a vehicle it is best to do the relevent validity checks. I do like to have the paper work!

I had one ages ago. Thought it was to do with age related bikes. Apparently not.
