Hi, I have purchased a 1980 xt 500 that was brought in from Greece, I also received the customs documentation with it.

I applied to get it registered but was told that it would need the age verified by the Yamaha owners club.

I would be very grateful for any advice on the best way to go about it

I very much doubt there's anyone here that could officially confirm anything to the DLV..! lol
I suspect that 'Yamaha Owners Club' isn't actually what they said, but something close. And you'll probably have to get in contact with Yamaha.

I have no doubt that someone on here will let you know shortly who you have to talk to...

Is it not the VJMC that can do this? 

Hi Mike, try paul at Motorbike registrations:

He was very good at sourcing the info I needed to register my Farmyard-find XT125 and offers a dating certificate service too

 

Well done Albert, we should sticky this as it often comes up.
