got reg number but vin number very hard to read

[Golfwhisky]

Is there a way to find my Vin number from my Registration. I have bought this 1978 Honda Motorbike but can not easily read the vin. I can make out most of it but I think numerous sand blasting etc as taken its toll

It a 1978 Honda CB550f or for reg purpose is classed 544 cc
DVLA want me to go through a lengthy process that involves date certificates, engineers reports etc . Can take weeks.

Is it not on the reg document .

Not got Reg documents. That's what the problem is. Bought it as a Barn Find Project. Thought it would be easy to get V5 with Reg Number and Vin. Never saw the Vin was partially unreadable

So you bought it completely undocumented? How do you know the seller had the rights to sell it? Surely it’s their responsibility to provide some paperwork?

I don't usually join in PH Fightclub but since you've posted an arsey reply......we're talking about getting the V5 for the bike here. Which part exactly of the seller having produced a V5 would have proven this/her right to sell?

Pm me - or post up the Reg . No .
- I’ll give you the vin tomorrow when at work .

Not fight club and not arsey, not sure what your problem is or just feeling a tad sensitive today ?

Was a genuine question ... or three ....

A V5c doesn't prove ownership.

I bought a bike without documentation but had a receipt, applied for the V5c and everything is all above board.

Certainly on the modern bikes a dealer can find chassis numbers from regs, and an MOT station should also be able to do it. I believe it may be part of the check, if not, they can do an MOT on a chassis number not a reg number, so should have access to both. Hope you get it sorted.

You’re correct but it’s the nearest thing we have to prove ownership .
