OK, got the Bus booked in for MOT retest tomorrow, providing i get a pass i now need to get it registered. Anyone know where i can find all the vehicle info you need to put on the paperwork or has anyone completed the form themselfs? Keith.
I went over to the DVLA in Nottingham, took all receipts, MOT certificate, previous owners details & explained to them I didnt know what paperwork was needed. The lady on the desk gave me all the necessary forms, I filled them in there n then - handed some cash over & jobs a good un! A week later my reg number came through!
'tis dead easy i did mine, ring the dvla they are amazingly helpful, you don't need to fill a great deal in, i used info off this site http://www.import-car.info/registration.shtml
Am doing mine next week so i'll let you know. Can you legally drive the van while you're waiting for the reg to come through?
madfrankie drove his to glasto on us plates and didn't get twigged, to be fair i guess plod wouldn't know what to do if you put on a yank accent and blagged it, you ain't gonna get anpr'd and if it ain't an easy collar they can't be arsed.
exactly zed, i did just that - pre booked the mot under the american reg and then passed the mot and drove it home, drove the car to the dvla got the uk plates and went out in the van.
you get the reg plate as soon as you get to the dvla if you have all paperwork and payments etc, make sure you ring your local office and ask them what you need to take - take as much info as you can, you'll walk out with your uk reg.
Rang the dvla on this the other day, they said they don't do it there and then anymore, they send it off and it usually takes 2-3 days to be processed before you get your UK reg.
20 % on the bus plus the shipping ( or 5% if u can swing it as rare, kingstown can do this for you for a fee) plus all the various inport fee on top of the shipping fees, normally approx 350 quid from experience
