Importing a nescort from Europe cheap or not?

[Percy73]

Thinking of importing a car from a sunny climate in Europe what sort of price would it be and how much paperwork is involved?

Or would they take the money and run 🤔

Go buy it and drive it back??
Never an issue with the bmw I bought years ago, just a dvla trip to sort at a later date

I bought a rally prepared one from S. Ireland. At the time the exchange rate was favourable and I think I got a very good deal.

You have to tell HMRC that you have imported it within 14 days and they decide if import duty is required or not. There's a form on the HMRC web site.

Only then can you get it MOT'd and apply for a UK V5. DVLA were very helpful.
