Hi new to the forum :D so you may have to bear with me fancy a fugitive after years of bikes and variouse other kits ie duttons ,sylvas and blitz buggys (too small) have a nice triumph t595 speedtriple worth about 1700 wonderd if any one fancied it in exchange for a fug must be road legal and correctly registerd if you do give me a shout and i can give more details on bike by the way i live in sunny middlesbrough seen a couple of fugs round here so must be a scene but i cant find it!!! :D

Jacko - take a look here , auction on ebay for a Sandrail - think from the title he'll swop for a bike ;-)

It doesn't look like a UVA to me, so check carefully what it's registered as. If is registered as a VW Beetle run away!

cheers for that Paul i was watchng it before <_< have emailed him to find out what it is registerd as may do a deal who knows if not i will sell the bike and look for a fug :D

Paul, if that sandrail on ebay has an mot and is a beetle on the v5, whats the problem? is it if you have a prang or get pulled over?

The main problem is with the new mots most stations wont mot it because it isnt a beetle and hasnt been correctly registerd which usually means sva though sometimes if you can prove how long it has been on the road you can get it registerd without though that doesnt happen very often

Mostly as Jacko says : MOT - Getting tighter on what they check all the time. In theory they should refuse to MOT you if you turn up in a Fugitive and the log book states VW Beetle. If it gets to the stage where enough garages get this tough then you'd have to look at SVA'ing it - not impossible but not fun.

Possible, but less likely, issues could occur with insurance and other formalities. I wouldn't really expect any of the main kit car insurers to really have an issue with this.

I think in the future some people are going to have a few problems with these sort of registrations - hence I got mine tidied up by the DVLA when they did an amnesty as they brought in the SVA test (took 6 months till someone sensible at Swanse sorted it though - the local Vehicle Registration Office repeatedly lost everything!)

I'm personally surprised how much the one registered as a Beetle is going for on Ebay - Limo Fug is better bet in my opinion.

limo fug gets my money over incorrect registration especially as it has an alfa lump

Yea would have looked at limo fug i like the alfa motor as well but bristol is a bit far and am very busy with work so there was no chance of getting down their in the next couple of weeks ,anyway i thought the auction had ended someone got a bargain <_< never mind will keep looking cheers :D
