Boot Lid:
The locking bonnet pins for my boot lid have arrived.
The good news, from a security point of view, is that each set appears to have a unique key, it is not one size fits all.
Although, from a convenience point of view, I need to carry three keys with me, as I will also have a set on the bonnet.

DVLA:
With a heavy heart I can also announce that the DVLA have replied today and the answer is still no.
They say there are no exceptions to the requirement to have the car taxed before the V5C can be changed.
Yet clearly there have been a huge number of Sammios & Tributes that remained SORN & yet still had their V5C changed.
I now need to leave it for a few days until I can put together a suitable form of words to appeal against this judgement.
This is a good case for the build approach
Micky1Mo's is taking with the new Sammio A1 Apha project.
If you bought a donor Spitfire which was still on the road, it would still have valid insurance, MOT, etc.
So, just like some of the Tribute models, your paperwork would be just what the DVLA wants to see.
