Bringing home a 1967-68 Mustang
Discussion
Alright that would probably save me a rediculous amount of money. I know the German equivilent to a MOT test would cover it to be driven on UK roads so that's one thing taken care of. Are road fund licenses the same over there as here? or would I need to change it once I get into the UK?
What would be my best option for getting it insured while i'm driving it home through Europe? because I know we can't take our trade plates abroad. Would it be better to arrange temporary cover from here before I go to pick it up?

You'd need temporary insurance, presumably on the chassis number.
Then MOT when you get it here to get it registered.
And don't forget, it's illegal for a UK licence holder to drive a foreign registered vehicle in the UK unless they are employed in the country in which the vehicle is registered.

Ok so I could buy the car from the dealership in Germany, arrange temporary insurance on it if the dealership dosn't (any recommendations for a good temp insurance provider?) and drive the car to the UK.
Once in the UK I'd need a transporter to take the car to an MOT centre and then back to mine then the prcoess we discussed before of registering it at the DVLA?
Or, once in the UK could I use trade plates after it's gotten its MOT?
