DVLA Website still missing 43 Marques

Classic Car owners are banging their heads against a wall because the DVLA, Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency is refusing to add more than 40 missing marques to its online database.

The DVLA are currently spending £2m on revamping their internet service facilities but despite being approached by both the Standard Motor Club and the Federation of British Historic Vehicle Clubs the DVLA have declined to update its online Vehicle Enquiry System to include classic car names such as Standard, Alvis and Gilbern.

The names do not appear on the standard drop-down menu so customers are having to physically type the car marques in.

Car owners are also facing problems with VOSA, MOT’s, Insurance and DVLA Motor Tax at the DVLA.

The full list of the 43 missing marques that are still not recognised by the DVLA, Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency database are as follows:
