Policy changes brought about by last year’s review of the DVLA are starting to be put in place. As of this week, repaired, restored and modified vehicles will be subject to updated registration policies.
The updated policies modernise the process for notifying the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) when a vehicle has been rebuilt or radically altered. They are targeted at classic car owners and follow a consultation period earlier this year.
Details of the changes can be found in the announcement on gov.uk.
The review of the DVLA was published last November, with one of the BVRLA’s reservations at the time being that the review didn’t go far enough to recognise the lack of progress being made in modernising DVLA services for fleet customers.
The latest changes for classic car treatment show that positive change can occur and is being sought. The BVRLA continues to represent the interests of BVRLA members and their fleet customers to see changes that meet their requirements.
