The LVTA Vehicle Register

The Vehicle Register includes full details of all vehicles for which members and former members have provided information, together with some details of other vehicles which have come to notice. The full register containing personal details is only available to committee members and other authorised people, subject to the LVTA Privacy Notice. Members’ personal details are only provided to other club members with their specific prior consent.

The Club also operates an anonymised Vehicle Register, which is open to club members only. Your name, location, registration number and owner history will not be visible to other club members. Other members may send messages to you through the Register, which you will receive as an email, but your contact details will not be disclosed to others. This approach allows club members to communicate privately whilst satisfying data protection regulations. If you want your vehicle excluded from the anonymised Vehicle Register you can change this setting at any time on your membership record by ticking the relevant box.

Notes for guidance Confirming vehicle details as migrated from the manual Vehicle Register

The vehicle details recorded on the old manual Vehicle Register have been migrated to the new computerised system. Please check that the details of the vehicle(s) you own are now shown correctly. Over time you may have changed the vehicles you own or they may previously have been recorded incorrectly. This is an invaluable opportunity to correct, refine and update the register so please give it your attention.

Note that some vehicles that were exported after they had been retired from service may not, for a number of reasons, have had the correct details or documentation sent over with them. The most common discrepancies are the year of manufacture and the maker's name. If you are uncertain of this information, please contact the vehicle registrar, who will make efforts to ascertain the correct information. This is important to you as an owner, because you will need to have the correct information in order to obtain the correct spare parts for your cab. In the meantime, please enter what information you have.

For each vehicle recorded as being owned by you please check the following. • Do you still own the vehicle? - If you don’t own it, please click on ‘sold car’ (even if you never owned it). • Do all the fields have the correct information? – Refer to the notes below for guidance. Edit or add information as appropriate. • Is the full date of registration shown? If you only know the year of first registration (or the year you understand it to have been first registered), show it as 01/01/YYYY. If you don’t know the date this field may be left blank. • Have all the fields for which you have information have been filled in? • Is the registration number shown as ‘DUMMYxx’? - This record was created without knowing the registration number – please enter the correct number of the vehicle, if you know it.

If you now own another vehicle please create a new entry as shown below.
