Is the date of first registration meant to be the same as the V5 registration document issue date?

No, not at all related dates.

The date of first registration is the date the vehicle was first ever taxed for the public road .i.e. 13.7.62 as in the case of my Traveller.

Or 1957 in the case of my 55...

.... and 58 in the case of my 62 !!!

the dvla are very very professional at charging people money but they cannot even get a date correct or a description or even a chassis or body number correct.

Don't start me off on the DVLA - My Traveller reg doc says its a 1098. It is and always has been a 948 but yet they refuse to correct their error until I get the car professionally inspected to prove its a 948 !!!!

would they even know how to tell the difference between a 948 and a 1098

Yes, we have certain people around the country who are accepted by DVLA and the insurance companies who inspect cars i.e. when there's a question after a rebuild as to which car donated the most parts which registration plate the car carries or whether is requires a Q plate. These same people can help a member with an agreed valuation certificate for insurance purposes. They would easily spot a 948 from a 1098

Probably from 40 paces too knowing the knowledge some people have on here!
