Old tax book

superfly35

I have a car with an old tax book, a brown thing that was stamped by the Garda back them.
I am wondering if I will go and ask to but the car at my name if they will keep the tax book and give me a new one or not?

I rather keep the old one.

Cheers

If there is space on the book for your name in the next owner slot you should be grand,provided that it isnt in very bad shape.Also its the motor tax office that stamp it not the guards though. Has the car been off the road a long time?

There is one spot left, the car has been off the road since 1987 I think.
Basically it is a Porsche 924 which has been victim of a transformation to diesel. :cool:
so I would love to keep the log book!!
Do you know where should I go to get my name on the log book ?

Cheers

They still issue old style brown logbooks for vehicles.
Got a replacement logbook for a 73 Lambretta scooter last week(as there wasn't one with the bike when I bought it)
Got it at the local tax office, and got a pleasant surprise when she started filling out an old style logbook.
The logbook is an updated version of the old type, ie. All the old £ signs are replaced with € signs, but that is the only difference.
So in answer to your question, from my experience, you will get one at your local tax office

If its a replacement book,you will be the first owner on it,they wont put any previous owners in there.

That is true, there are no previous owners on the logbook, but she did give me the printout of the vehicle particulars and the previous owner and address is on that.
She had rolled it up and was going to throw it in the bin, but I asked her for it, and she gave it to me.:D

oooh, tell us more........I've often thought of doing that, or a 1.8t conversion........

superfly35

I don't have much more to tell, i didn't make the convertion I bought like that.
However, I will probably doing the convertion back in petrol.

One day when all the other project will be finish 2012 probably!!

Just to let yous know...

I done an engine conversion in my Micra K10 a few weeks back, and I sent the log book (brown one) off so they could change the engine number and so on in it. They sent me back a new brown one, with none of the details of the previous owners in it. Shame really.

Yeah, I should have scanned the old one.

Only 3 previous owners before me, including Nissan Ireland and my uncle who I bought the car off.

Why did they change the book i wonder? There should have been a space in the book for a replacement engine number,although looking through some i have here,it seems they deleted that section around 1990. Stupid. I guess they thought modern cars dont need replacement engines!

Max_Damage

There was indeed a replacement engine section on the book. Maybe it's their policy now to issue new books. Who knows.

That Motor looks remarkably like the lump in my L200 (which was 2.5).
I think the older Pajero used a 2.8, Not sure what year the EGR system was added, this may help you to date the engine.:)

It's a Nissan engine, most likely out of a Patrol or a Urvan.
