Services we can offer Members to assist them

DVLA, Vehicle Build Dating, Registration and other Services.

The Volvo Enthusiasts Club offers a service to help Members with obtaining build dates for Volvo Vehicles which are needed at times.

The Club operates as part of the DVLA Authorised List of Clubs and are in their publication - V765/1 ‘List of Vehicle Owners Clubs’.

As part of this service the Volvo Enthusiasts Club may help Members apply to Register a Vehicle under its original Registration if the vehicle has been off the road for a number of years and has no Logbook present , help restore an original Registration to a vehicle which has been removed in the past (if still available at the dvla database), help Register a newly imported classic car under an ‘Age Related’ Numberplate etc .

The DVLA and Vosa also contacts the Club from time to time for Technical Advice and to check data etc where they may feel that an application or a vehicle they are inspecting is not as originally specified or stated.

The Club has in the past provided a number of Members with build dates for their Volvo vehicles in order to obtain Historic Vehicle Status (Free Road Tax). This being a requirement of the DVLA, that the vehicle in question was built on or before 31st December, 1976.
