Paulholman Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Have you tried the dvla website?www.dvla.gov.ukIt has some information and should, in theory (!) give you all the information you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krin Posted May 8, 2004 Share Posted May 8, 2004 Hello, we have imported a couple of cars from France, what is required is to get the car MOT'd using the chassis number, then take this along with an insurance certificate from a UK company to a local Licensing Office (DVLA)and your Carte Gris showing the year of manufacture.You will then be issued with an age related plate for the sum of 25, this might have increased now.The DVLA keep your documents and get the MOT altered to show the new registration number and will provide a new style V5 document. As the car was originally purchashed within the EU then VAT is not payable when you import it into England.RegardsMARK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
