Just wondering if any one is clued up on trailer law,
I have an old (as in 1978) Ifor Williams 10 x 6 livestock trailer,recently I was told it should have a vin plate but its never had one and theres no tell tale marks on the A frame where one may have been.
I contacted Williams who wanted me to take the trailer to there local dealership for an inspection,the dealer confirmed its from between 75 and 1980 and as such wouldnt have had a plate,the problem is ...VOSA !!! they say it should have a plate but refer me to the DVLA..who said whats it to do with us thats VOSA territory.
we are now awaiting an answer from the department of transport!!
all I wanted was to be Legal....Honesty doesnt seem to pay these days.
any one with any clue would be most welcome
Dave
