b

that a vehicle licence issued under the 1971 Act is in force for the vehicle;

c

that the vehicle is—

i

one to which section 47 of the 1988 Act applies, or would apply if the vehicle had been registered under the 1971 Act more than three years earlier; or

ii

d

that the Secretary of State is satisfied as to the origins of the vehicle and the date on which it was first used; and

e

that the vehicle is recorded as being a registered vehicle in the G.B. records.

3
