Just a question for you Guys,if i bougt a car from the EU ..France Germany etc,what? if any? Duties would i need to pay? do i pay vat etc?import duty on a classic(pre 73) bought in the EU?

Appart from transporting and re-regestering in the UK and MOT what costs are involved?

Thanks in advance.

Ask Big Tony O, he`ll help you out.

Nothing unless it's under 10 yr old,need SVA then,might be vat if it's a commercial.

I imported my Satellite from Belgium a few years ago. Apart from transportation it cost £39 to register, about £20 for number plates and the MOT costs. It was much simpler than I expected. My car was unregistered in Belgium so I had to have the proper customs clearance forms from the importer (which they had). This has the notarised export details and the previous owner. This must be given in at the registeration centre - remember to take a photocopy first - they don;t give it back. I registered my car in Brighton and they were very helpful.

The DVLA website was qiuite useful - although it's changed a bit since I last used it.

Thanks i thought so i would double check anyway with Customs but just thought i would ask here first

Was hoping you were touring Europe getting back all the cars they've bought.

Something in the pipeline Tony??
