Andy,
As far as 'm concerned, your Notrun is not a proper Norton, it has too many cylinders
I prefer singles, such as my '26 Model 19, a 588 long stroke OHV

No..........that’s just half a Norton...

These Tories are on the way to swaying my loyalties if they carry on like this. I know I’m shallow but I’ve got three bikes this could affect and my vote in rural Cambridgeshire is worth next to nothing anyway
As for the link posted by Andres, that’d tie in with the requirement from the NOC for good pictures taken from each side which go a long way towards proving that the bike is as close to standard as possible and that any non standard parts are period ones rather than modern day ones.
The days of wondering all over Europe on your classic will be coming to an end
The government gives with one hand and takes away with the other......I see historic status as a bit of a Trojan horse, within the next 5 years I reckon we will see further restrictions in the use of said vehicles on the grounds of both safety and pollution, this could be like the historic/club Reggo scheme in some Australian states where in exchange for cheap registration (insurance included) you are only supposed to use the bikes for club runs and need to keep a logbook of all miles covered. The other restrictive alternative might be to ban all old vehicles from public roads.

You could still wander though.
Thanks Andres. I just thought that they would check the chassis number at MOT & give you an MOT with that number on it so that you could apply to register it. I'm not sure how you prove this now to the DVLA? I suppose it will be the same as how pre 1960's bikes are done now? But I'm not sure how that is done. Is it a dating certificate?
Guidelines state....
When declaring an exemption, you will be required to confirm that it has not been
substantially changed (as defined in this guidance). This process will be applied to
pre-1960 registered vehicles, as well as newer vehicles in the historic vehicle tax
class.
This begs the question though will insurance company’s refuse to provide cover for vehicles with no MOT as it can be a higher risk on the road?
What is the situation if the bike is SORN at the moment? Can I put it back on the road after 21st May without an MoT just by cancelling the SORN.
Remember that if you take it off SORN, it has to be insured.
To remove it from SORN you have to either Tax it or sell it and as you can't tax something that isn't insured then that will not be an issue or will it?

Well, I certainly own bikes that are on SORN but not insured and I've yet to have a fine through the post so
