Wrong engine on v5 -reg question

[biglt]

Considering buying a '83 bike with 750 on the V5, but is fitted with an 1100. Owner has no receipt for the engine, but seems legit. 

Rules keep changing and I don't know anyone who's done this recently. From what I can gather from DVLA I just need a headed letter from a garage confirming the swap has been done... Can that be right? Seems very simple for DVLA

when i fitted the rf900 engine in my gsxr all i needed was a headed letter from my mates garage to say he checked it over and it was a good job and took dvla 3 weeks to rerun the log book with new engine size

Thanks goatblower. I've called a bike garage near me and they've told me something similar. Nothin ever works out that simple for me though, but if the price is right I might take a gamble

I did a letter for my mate who built a 7/11. 3 times DVLA refused it because the format was not how they wanted it , the last time they said they refused it because they could not find me on the internet, idiots I even put my LTD company registration number on the letter head but did they check with Companies house to see that I am a legit business, nah did they fuck, his bro in law place did a compliment slip saying all in order and they accepted that as it has a VAT number on it, wankers I don't do enough turnover to be bothered with VAT, use a VAT registered company for the letter.

I juts got a £500 tax bill from 2009/10, so I have no love for beurocrats at the moment. Good tip about the VAT Reg - I'll check...

Thanks
