Yes, my T120R was checked long before it was running (or fully completed)...Ian

Strangely they must think me untrustworthy as it clearly states it must be running.

Interesting that they state it must be a runner. I've recently registered two 1970's TY250 Yamaha trials bikes, the chap who inspected them really wasn't bothered about me running them, he just took a few pictures of the whole bikes and frame / engine numbers. Seems to me there is absolutely nothing to worry about as long as the bike is what you say it is. I had both log books and reg numbers back in less than 10 days for both bikes.
Some people clearly take the mickey, I got talking to the inspector and he showed me several pictures of a Triumph Cub trials bike which he had just inspected. It was quite obvious - And he knew it, that the bike had no original parts except the crankcases, frame,forks,wheels and tank were all brand new. He just shrugged his shoulders when I asked him what the DVLA would make of it when he submitted the pictures.Your M20 will be no problem !
