I've been trying to (agricultural vehicle) road register my Honda TR300FW in the UK.
For those that don't know the system, you first have to get an "dating certificate" or a "certificate of newness" (usually from Honda) saying what year it was made. You send this to the Government body for licensing (DVLA) and they then issue a registration document (a V5C).
I have contacted Honda asking a "dating certificate" and have given my frame and engine number and they tell me that they can't date it because if wasn't originally imported by Honda UK or what is known as a grey import.
I'm not sure if they are trying to fob me off. It seems strange that someone other that Honda UK would import quads to the UK?
The speedo on the quad is in km/h. I'm pretty sure that the speedo is in km/h even for countries whose main measurement of length is the mile?
Someone on here has figured out that the quad is a 2000 model from the Frame and Engine Number. Is there anything else that can be told from these numbers? Place of manufacturer? Intended market (US, Europe, Australia etc)?
478TE15U3YA00**** - Frame
TE15E-9153*** - Engine
Thanks in advance for any replies.
