Someone on here must have done this

[mike77cos]

Right, I hadn't really thought this though, but when the Escort that I have coming over from Australia gets here, what do I need to do to register it?

I have looked here:

http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Motoring/BuyingAndSellingAVehicle/ImportingAndExportingAVehicle/DG_4022105

But this only seams to apply to vehicles under 10 years old

Will I need to SVA it?

Does anyone have any experiance of this?

Help

doesnt it need an mot before it is assigned a reg document?? and yes i think you will have to have it inspected

I'm sure your right, in my head, I thought it had to be insured with the chassis number, MOT'd the inspected by the local DVLA office, but someone in work just mentioned SVA and I am now nervous

[escort new boy]

with scooters, they just need to be insured and mot'd. Registration fee is Ł55 plus 6 months or a years tax. Can't see a car being different

Calming down now thank you

Pretty sure you dont need SVA Mike, all your docs from OZ are needed, proof of import duties paid etc, MOT it via the chassis number , then take all docs to nearest DVLA office and they should give it an age related plate.
