Ah yes, sorry I should have checked :-)

Thank you David, but they are fronts not rears, tempting though. 29/61-15 Michelin TB15 was what I needed.
Car has gone through now, swapped some spare wheels with TB5s and different wiper blade so the MOT man was happy.
All set for another year...

Yep rears, I used them on 10's, great for sprints, for everything bar torrential rain. This one is my unused spare .
May even consider selling the two used ones too. Still tread left and can also be re cut. Doubt if I'll do any more sprints to be honest, not got the time or money anymore!

For some reason MOT man always puts down Lancia on the certificate!
Presumably it is still valid...

As long as it's not going to set off an alarm on an ANPR camera.
Documentation seems to be a minefield if you don't get it right - see here http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/t...+by+Dvla%2E%3F

It's correctly IVAed and registered, so hopefuly that is the important thing and camera would just check for MOT pass, tax and insurance.
Don't think the camera would know what a Hawk or a Lancia looked like!

Hi All

So long as it is not still registered with the donor car details (and being IVA'd means that must be true?), and it is difficult enough to tell the difference between a Hawk and the real thing from a distance, then the only practical issue I can foresee is the issue of insurance and what you claim the car to be there, presumably you call it a Hawk and if they get funny with the reg name being different to the insured name?

Yes insurance, IVA, registration all Hawk, only MOT man seems confused.
I don't think it is an issue really.

But I could be wrong.
And from October we don't need to display tax discs, so it's harder to tell a Hawk from a Lancia...

With MOT being computerised, I thought MOT-man had to put in the same as the computer had;

Exactly, .... but apparently not ...

I am surprised he has to put anything in apart from the reg number, can see no point in him having to put the car type, I would have thought it just asked him to confirm it was what they had on the database?
