Excellent advice. I followed this video advice to register my imported car... the advice of sending photos is really useful and I did this....result 3 weeks later I had my log book without one problem. Turned what looked really complicated into a straight forward process....thank you very much
Excellent ...I spent all night trying to answer everything on my first imported classic car ( 1977) Now I can see much doesnt have to be answered its very re asuuring,,Thanks again
I've registered a few vintage motorcycles that I've bought in Italy, usually with no docs just a scrappy receipt, I've never had a physical NOVA certificate, they just look at their records for the NOVA to make sure I've done it. I once registered a 48cc moped and didn't get NOVA for it because anything under 49cc is exempt from NOVA and I got the forms sent back to me stating that I had no NOVA I had to send the forms back with a printout of the rules concerning under 49cc and then it was sorted, They did send out an inspector though. Your video is very informative.
Thanks for the tips - you saved me an hour waiting for DVLA to pick up the phone to see which fields I could miss out. Also - the hardest part of this process is writing a cheque! Who has a cheque book these days? Anyway, the penny dropped I can use a postal order so off to the Post Office I guess.
Hi this was helpful for sure. I am looking at bringing a 2015 car from Germany and meeting myself coming backwards trying to get concrete info on what I would and wouldn't need to pay. Its a private seller and I planned to bring it here on export plates myself, bringing it off the ferry to home, then register etc but paying 20% vat on top of the purchase price would be a deal breaker for sure. (It's a Renault Megane so nothing too exotic but it's a specific one I am looking at for around €20k)
Hi, I have never imported anything new enough to need the full 20% vat payable, but being a newer car you will likely need to complete more of the v55 document than for an older classic vehicle over 25 years, sorry I cant advise more as I dont know for sure.
@@Richard_Turner hmrc are actually great to deal with, you wont have a problem with the nova side of it, itll be dvla for registering later who are the awkward ones to get hold of!
@@FoxSpeedshop what will kill it for me is if I have to pay vat of 20% on top of the price of the car which is used, and hasn't got vat in the price as its a private sale. Its a specialist track version of the car which is otherwise perfect for me but will see how it goes 🤞
thanks a bunch for the vid! Most helpful. Two questions: 1), do I def not need insurance (historic vehicle)?! everywhere seems to say I do (based in England). and 2) I've got a build date from Ford of Oct81 but on the original reg docs a first reg date of 1/1/81! Guessing it was just a computational thing as pre-digital records probably just had year and nothing else. Best for v55/5 to match original reg docs even of chronology is weird? Thanks mate!
I've been trying to find the online NOVA application but can only find the link if you're a VAT registered business or importing the car from the EU to Northern Ireland (which I'm not !) Any pointers as to where this form is please for a personal import from the EU to the UK (the car is already here under a temporary import for 6 months from a previous owner). Much appreciated in advance
If i recall its just the same form, within it there is a dropdown declaration for vat registered or not. If its changed then HMRC are very helpful on the phone
Hi! Great vid - I am eyeing up a barn find Moto Guzzi motorbike from 1976 with NO paperwork (in Barcelona)- do you know if this will be an issue at customs? Happy to pay the 5% sales price fee but have nothing to show the bike is mine. I even have a UK replacement frame to put everything across - I just don't want it to get stuck at customs. Thanks!
Hi there, amazing video and really informative. I am going through the same process now, my car is a 1968 and just wondering if you know what the VAT will be, i am hoping still just the 5%? thanks,
Hi, I have an interesting one in so much that I am reimporting a 1980 Bentley T2 that was exported to Germany in 2009. My shipping company is handling all the import papers and taxes and are stating that a 5% tax on the purchase price(15000 euros) + shipping + German export tax + an import tax of £150 and of course VAT. The car still shows up on Gov website on the original registration number as not being taxed or MOT'd and therefore still currently listed. I am surprised by your video that the 5% tax isn't payable on cars less than £100,000, I would also like to keep the original registration number. I would like to know your thoughts on this, Great video and thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge.
I think they have lowered the threshold again now, but certainly during the brexit backlog it was surprising the value of things you could get in tariff free
Ideal video, very helpful. I'm trying to reregister my VW van which was originally UK registered then registered in France. I have checked its status on the relevant DVLA site and it shows it as last taxed and mot'd in 2008? I was tempted to just apply for a replacement log book but worried there might be a tax penalty involved because its not been SORNed? Any advice would be appreciated.
In all honesty i'd ring HMRC and they'll be able to clarify. If you were the owner in the uk and originally exported it once then reimported again you might be ok, but I cant say I know for sure.
Thanks for the informative video! I am trying to figure out how to bring a classic car from Germany to the UK, but the car is in parts and without an engine! It’s a Triumph Spitfire Mk1. It would be a great shame to be forced to give it up. Would this be the same process, at least up until the completion of the HMRC stage, for my situation? What other clubs/groups can I turn to for advice on the import process? Thanks for your response! Chris
Hi. Thank you for the video. I bought a MB from Europe last week and want to register it. The MB garage initially said that they would do the MOT on the chassis number but now told me that they can't do it as the system requires an UK registration. Is there a way around this? Also, I have been told by Customs that I only can register it through an official import company as I need special software. Has this changed or can I still use the NOVA and V55/5 form and do the import myself as a private individual? Many thanks
No special software needed for a single private import no, just nova online. MOT can be done on just a chassis number for an unregistered vehicle as can insurance if required
@@FoxSpeedshop Hi. Thanks very much for the very swift reply. I guess I have to try a different garage in that case for the MOT. Maybe they are a bit scared that I am trying to ring the car. I will crack on with the NOVA on line. Again thank you very much for your video and feedback!!!
@@avolikateshwara "3 Can I test an unregistered vehicle? A vehicle that is not UK registered can still be MOT tested. To register a vehicle without a registration plate (e.g. an imported vehicle not yet UK registered) you’ll need to create a new record.

@@FoxSpeedshop I just spoke to another local garage who told me that they are able to do the MOT on the VIN number. I guess that the other garage never dealt with an import. Thanks!
If its already in then it should have nova or the equivalent proof of taxes paid, and hmrc will issue you with nova based on those details. No documents for registration will require a dating letter from a recognised club/organisation for proof of age.
@@FoxSpeedshop amazing. Thank you for your reply. I live in Northern Ireland so even bring a car from 100 miles down the road in Ireland can have it's problems 🤷♂️
@@MarkHillhwtb Just be aware (as im sure you are) that in NI the registration of a car requires it to have insurance proof as well (no idea why, just does) so you'll need it insured off the VIN plate before you submit the paperwork

Great stuff. I am planning to buy a car from Portugal, but from a private individual. Do the Portuguese registration documents have to be in my name or the seller’s? Also, since it’s a private sale, does the seller have to write a piece of paper declaring that he sold the car to me?
Sellers name is fine. Ive only ever registered using titles in someone elses name. Its not needed for proof of ownership, just proof of age. Yes a proof of purchase for cars value should suffice for taxation purposes
Hi mate. I’ve gone to look at a fiat 500 1970. Really nice care. I just have a couple of questions. The owner can’t tell me if he ever did a nova on it when it was imported around 2017. Will there be fines to pay and will there be any duty and vat to pay ? He has the Italian documents ie the v5 and a receipt to say it’s transferred over. Will it be a nightmare to try and register here ? Thank you
If it has no nova paperwork it might be on the system, just ring HMRC and ask, they are pretty helpful. As long as you have all the italian paperwork that proves date of manufacture/1st registration, and proof of ownership/reciept for price to generate any taxes owed the hmrc side shouldnt be too hard.
Great informative video ,I’m having an issue at the minute bought a classic seat 600e from an auction that was imported end of last year didn’t get a certificate of import so need to get a letter of conformity and really struggling do you have any pointers ?
Have you tried Seat UK owners clubs? Or even Fiat as they were built under lisence in Spain? One of the Fiat owners clubs might be happy to date it for you off its VIN plate
T hanks for all the usefull imformation but can i just ask you the following i have found a 60 year old classic vehicle i wish to import from the Antwerp area, can i go over pay for it get the paperwork from the owner and then drive it home and when back the UK apply for the new V5 or does this need to be sorted out before even going to view the vehicle?
No, you can drive a foreign registered vehicle over as long as its temporary prior to registration. Insurance might be your biggest issue, never tried to get insured on a car not uk registered in my name etc... might be easier to buy it then have it trailered if the insurance gives you grief. Or get someone with a trader policy and trade plates to drive it for you
@@FoxSpeedshop would I need any customs clearance, documents, or any other paperwork and payments if driven or transported over to the uk, am i just being nieve or hopefull thinking i could just get into the UK without all that.
Not if its over 40 years old and MOT exempt. Even a non mot exempt vehicle can be registered without an mot, however you often wont get a DVLA contracted inspector visiting if youve MOTd it as someone has already verified it exists and is complete.
Great thanks for the information! Only one last doubt, what about the insurance? Does the DVLA ask for a british insurance by the moment of the registration or that can be any kind of insurance? I´m a spanish guy trying to sort out the importation of my own car to UK and i´m struggling to found out that information (my car has currently EU insurance with AXA).
@@vladionita1587 no, well not if its MOT exempt by age, can MOT off the vin number and then they are less likely to come and inspect it as itll already have been looked over by someone.
No you dont. It will need an MOT however so its usually easier to MOT it on the VIN number then apply. This way you often avoid an inspection because the car has already presented itself to an inspector. Insurance is only a requirement for registration in Northern Ireland. Hope that helps.
Most countries wont allow them to be exported unless they are deregistered prior to leaving. Same as filling in v5 here as marked for export and sending to dvla when sold abroad

Honeatly ive not tried, so im not 100% certain on that, dont want to mislead you. However i dont see a problem with a personal import being driven in. You have a few weeks to declare the import.
You should just be able to use the online nova still. Im not a vat regustered business and they told me to use the website as per video.

Hi there, I've recently imported a 1988 Bmw and was wondering what tax class does it fall in. It is 33 years old and isn't over 40 to consider it a historic. What do I have to type in the Tax Class box? Thanks in advance.
Only one thing I wasnt clear on is my car has the correct car engine, but it is a replacement engine from the same year . So the car vin plate and American title match but the number on the engine is different because the origional engine one had to be scrapped, Does this matter if I list the number of the engine as not the origional as many old classic must have replacement engines otherwise everyone would be the rare "matching numbers" car. Any clarification please

So the car vin plate and American title match but the number on the engine is different because the origional engine one had to be scrapped, Does this matter if I list the number of the engine as not the origional as many old classic must have replacement engines otherwise everyone would be the rare "matching numbers" car. Any clarification please
No need to declare the engine number just vin
My 1950 Ford has no engine number on the v5 nor the title, infact flathead v8s didn't technically have engine numbers

So you do not need to mot the vehicle first?
No, not pre registration, although if you do then they tend not to inspect as often
@@FoxSpeedshop cos i have a 1966 vehicle in my garage back in Malta for long time and not running, and i was thinking to bring it over to uk as currently I’m living in uk , and that’s why i was not sure if i need to mot it or not
@@thetruckdriver3060 you should be fine as its MOT exempt anyway
A vehicle is not exempt from Type (or Vehicle) Approval by being over 40 years old…any car over 10 years old is exempt…
