I always "lose" my license at renual time. Makes no difference until they send it back missing a category. That's when I'd "find it".

My 2004 was made by Enfield and listed as a Bullet 500.

Wrong model or make designation is not uncommon at the DVLA, mis-classification is probably due to them farming out data entry to the cheapest out-sourcing company! Bikes of this era were listed as "Enfield" before the court case that gave Enfield India the right to use the "Royal" prefix. I'd guess that "Ebro" was the next listing to "Enfield" in the drop down menu when they did it.

Well I have sent the logbook off with a cover letter saying it should be a Royal Enfield Bullet 500 so hopefully I should hear back in a few weeks.

Just wondering if the document is genuine. Can you tell if it is genuine or not.

In the year of our Lord 2000 I finally got our BSA A10 Golden Flash re registered despite the best efforts of Mr Jepson of the Reading local DVLA office who continually made up his own rules regarding re registering an old nailthat had lain dormant for 32 years

The V5 said the I had a Sundiro!
After much asking around etc I found that a Sundiro was an obscure Chinese moped mainly imported to San Francisco.
Speaking with a nice WSelsh lady in Swansea it appeared that the nice Mr (twat) Jepson had written the wrong code number on his paperwork.
I suggest L-Ts problem is merely finger trouble with a data input clerk, no one is infallible.

EBRO was a manufacturer who built Ford trucks under licence in Spain in the 1960's onwards!

Here's Tornado's doc. Although he was built in 1994 (bit of a strange 'Bavanar' story...) was not registered in the UK until 1998.

If they won't change it to 'Royal Enfield', then try asking for 'Rolls Royce'.

EBRO? You are lucky that got that spelt correctly... It could have ended up HASBO knowing the DeVious LA.

As P says above, I can remember seeing copies of Fordson Super Major and Massey Ferguson 165 tractors in Spain, bearing the name 'Fabrication Ebro'.

My wife's Bullet 350 is listed as EBRO on the V5. It was registered in 2002 in UK but is clearly an earlier model, probably 1998 or thereabouts. I wondered about "Enfield Bought and Registered Overseas" but that's completely made up.

My 350 Indian Bullet model name is 350BLT on the V5 and comes up as 'not found' on a DVLA search, unless that is typed in when checking for tax, mot etc.
