WR1 number!
 

Just got a phone call from my dealer confirming registration number and issue number of my WR1, He needed an insurance cover note so the PPP can be fitted, so must be due soon now!!!

What number did u get and when did u order????

Car number 94, put a deposit down the day the dealers got told there was going to be a limited edition (sometime before Autosport show, cant remember date)

So you have got to start paying insurance premium even b4 you get the car..
or do you get a cover note with a date of insurance starting in a few weeks?

I had a month left on the insurance for my P1 (which I sold last week) so just had it cut over onto the WR1. But I would imagine just a cover note is enough, as alot of people will still be insuring their current cars

so are you saying that I would need insuance weeks before I get the car.
This sucks, why ? they have our deposits

I would have thought the Cover note was required to Tax it when they register it in your name .......

Correct, the car must be registered before the PPP is installed.

Yep, A legal loophole for IM. Something to do with emission regs...

As I understand, it is for type approval - as in, they don't need it!

Surely they can register the car and therefore fit the PPP without having to have it insured yet, as it won't be on the road....

Or does it need to be taxed for PPP fitment? :rolleyes:

It needs to be sold & in your ownership, so registered, taxed & insured.

Sort-of. The full reason is that the car's emissions, CO2 bracket and so-on are taken in "standard" 265ps form. In order to maintain this, the PPP is, officially speaking, an aftermarket add-on, and thus must be fitted after the car has been registered and ownership transferred to the customer. So yes, it needs to be in full roadworthy condition (inc VED) before the PPP is fitted.

Got the call today,dealer wants my cover note to tax and fit ppp,arranged to collect 8 may when I get back from holiday,starting to buzz now.Regards to everyone.gmj

When did u order the car gmj?

Hi Iceman. I had a silver sti ppp on order due late jan,when I saw the wr1 on the net I think Jan 11 I rang dealer who let me transfer deposit onto wr1 and I faxed over licence. when did you order and have you heard anything?. I got the impression that I could have had the car earlier but 8 may is best for me,cant wait,forgot to ask what number car is will find out tomorrow,I was no 1 on dealers list.Good luck gmj.

I ordered my car on 31st January and I am 1st on the dealers list, let us know what number u get. Why do they want an insurance cover note to register the car? I didn't think this was required as long as they had your personal details.

Cover note required before they can tax it. Needs to be "ready for the road" (i.e. registered, taxed and insured) before the PPP can be fitted.

Thanks Greasemonkey

Apparently, My WR1 is No. 125!!

Now all I have to do is sort out the cover note!!

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

When did u order Lee????

Ive been told its no 58 for me,Liverpool Vic sorted cover note,will look in later all the best. gmj

Mid March.........but have been moved to dealer's No.1 position!!

Insurance is now sorted................Privilege (What nice people)!!

They're insuring two cars temporarily for less than the price of one!!

The WR1 has reduced my premium by ~£160 (~£190 for a year).............I currently have a 52 reg Sti UK PPP!!

I wonder who's got car '69'??

Ordered mine 22nd Dec 1st on dealers list maybe first to order in the country?? anyone order before this date???, dealer already has paperwork for my personalised plate and a certificate of insurance, me thinks I had better phone dealer on tuesday as I have heard nothing yet!!!!!!!!!!
