The motorcycle registration issued under this scheme is conditional on you retaining membership of the Club.

Guidance on the SIVS Application Process

 

The Special Interest Vehicles Scheme mandates that the owner of the vehicle is responsible to ensure all information provided about the vehicle and submitted as part of the registration process, is true and correct.
