ivor Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 i need to register with the DVLA and get a day time MOT for my MH349, but to start the process i need to know its age.

andrewb Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Sandifords used to offer an age certificate service for UK supplied Montesa. Not sure if they still do but its got to be worth a try. Andrew 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivor Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 thanks Andrew i will give them a call. My 955i Tiger is a bit heavy in the snow for getting to work so i fancied a bit of fun using the MH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewb Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Keep posting your progress on the DVLA side as I intended to register mine for the 1st time after completing it. I've heard that it can be tricky now with the local licensing offices closing down. May be different in Scotland though. Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro sport Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Hi Ivor As you probably know the MH signifies the connection between Montesa and Honda for1982 when they brought out the 349 model and with a low Serial number like 291 it's going to be in the first few months of production. Good luck with getting it registered. Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivor Posted December 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Thanks prosport Dave i guessed it might be an early one with such a low number. i have dropped an email to Sandiford's making the enquiry. Andrew, i will keep you updated on the progress with it, but as luck would have it there is a DVLA office just 30 miles away in Aberdeen. A few little jobs to do before the MOT, but its generally quite tidy. Biggest jobs are fork seals and a dragging clutch, but suspect the clutch may be down to wrong oil knowing the guy i bought it from :-) . He did me a favour and powder coated the frame, new shocks and mudguards, but sold it to me for £300 as he couldnt start it after reassembly. took 20 minutes to find the lose HT lead - he was a bit miffed.

andrewb Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Sounds a cracking buy. I bought mine for the fun of the rebuild (how wrong you can be) and to ride some twin shock trials. maybe go to work on it if the suns shining. Its currently in boxes waiting for me to get round to building it. Not without problems though (see the thread on footpegs). All the best Andrew 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivor Posted December 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 thanks totalshell - i had no idea. no danger oif me nipping to Swansea anytime soon :-( NOVA 1? - nothing like a bit of red tape to liven up a project. Not sure the bloke in the pub i bought it from can provide such a thing :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
