Although not directly related to Mercedes I thought I would ask the question anyway:-
I am a farmer and am about to buy a another large quad bike (Can Am 800). This bike comes with a road legal kit as standard, which included indicators and brake lights etc.
The thing is I do not wish to use it on the road, is it possible I could register it with the dvla later on this year on a 60 plate for example. I have no real reason for doing this except for saving on road tax and making the vehicle potentially worth more when I sell it even though the date of manufacterer would be stamped on the chassis.
The dealer is a real pain (not unlike the Merc dealer I dealt with!). He says it is a legal requirement to register vehicles asap after they are sold. However I dispute this since I can find nothing in writing to say this. In the past I have bought combine harvesters and delayed registration (due to laziness in filling out paperwork) for quite a few months. From memory the plate issued was current at the time of registration, not backdated to DOP.
Is there anything from stopping me doing this legally? I remember on here someone saying they spotted a Lamborghini that was definitely quite a few yrs old on a '10 plate. However in this case the car had been garaged for the duration. This surely cannot be too different to what I want to do ??
