When I first registered our ambulance I received the V5C registration document just a few days after the final DVLA inspection. I quickly scanned through it to check the registration number and address details etc, and then filed it away. However a few days later I received another V5C. The details on this new one looked identical, so I put it down to some administrative error and filed it away with the original. Well, I just had to upload a copy of the registration document so that it can be pre-approved for import into Mongolia and finally spotted the difference between the two. On the second certificate I was sent, the Body Type of the vehicle was correctly shown as "Van". However, check what they classed the vehicle as on the first certificate they sent me:
Well I know Land Rovers are essentially agricultural vehicles, and I've heard of them being affectionately referred to as tractors before, but I think this is taking it a bit too far. However, it did give me a great idea for the name of the vehicle and a theme tune for our trip.
Henceforth, our Land Rover ambulance shall be known as Wurzel
And this is our theme tune: |
