Or that was the way it worked when I acquired a parts XLV a few years back - tried to SORN it & got told I couldn't. They've never chased me up for it not being either SORNed or taxed and they certainly weren't slow at chasing me when I forgot to reSORN the Laverda -- Bob Scott

There's a ref number on that too. In that case, it's a 16-digit number. I've a vague recollection that the 13-digit number is something else. Failing that, I'm pretty sure there's still a paper form to declare sorn which you can download and print.
