We're supposed to be collecting our new motorhome on September 2nd having put a deposit on it about 3-4 weeks ago.
We did this simply to get the new 63 reg plate so I supposed we've been punished for our hubris!
The insurance cover note was sent off to the DVLA togther with the required docs from the dealer about 2 weeks ago and the registration details came today.
Instead of a 63 plate it's on a 13 plate. After speaking to 4 different people at Swansea someone finally came up with the reason:
the dealer sent the docs in too early, if it's more than a working week (they think!) then it's given the current (part) years mark and not the mark from the date of registration. That's after being given 3 other reasons by the folk at DVLA.
Apparently the chaos is the result of cuts that have closed regional offices so everything has to be conducted by mail from Swansea together with swinging redundancies and having to recruit and train raw new staff at Cardiff.
Looks now that it may be some weeks hence that we get our Sundance, bang goes our 10 days in France
