Yamaha Mio Z

[banjax34]

Hi all, hope someone can either help or point me in the right direction, I have a Yamaha Mio Z 2003 model imported from Thailand in 2004 which I am trying to register in the UK , the only documentation that is holding me up is a proof of date of manufacture, in the UK this is done from the frame number but Yamaha Europe cannot help.Can a local Yamaha shop help with this or has anyone got a contact at Yamaha Thailand ? Any help would be much appreciated, the bike was originally bought from Sang Chai Motor at 30 Rajadamoen Rd , that is all I can make out from the original Visa document. Thanks for looking !

Oh hello,.Peter my partner imported a Neuvo into England, he registered it with the original registration which he had translated into english,.It was a few years ago ,but i remember combined with the customs papers it was a doddle,good luck,Gordon,.

I forgot, ask your local DVLA if they will accept a dating letter as proof of date of manufacture,. if so google Roy Bacon, he will take care of it,.

if only it was that easy, Roy bacon is having problems with the DVLA and cannot help and the bike was imported new , never registered in Thailand , so no registration papers, the lady who imported never got round to registering it in the uk although she did pay the duty on it.....and its changed hands a few times with all previous owners not bothering to try to register it !!! I'm beginning to see why ....oh and thanks for replying !!

Wow, what a mess,.perhaps if you have someone in Thailand that can go to the dealer and get a letter to state it was sold new and was manufactured new here at a certain date?. im sure on Yamaha headed paper it would help. also im curious, id there no SVA for the bike ?

[banjax34]

got the bike SVA'd about a week ago and MOT'd, got everything except a letter to prove date of manufacture, trying to get a contact email for yamaha in thailand is proving difficult
