Could someone confirm for me what papers should the car have in order to be registered in UK?

Seller send me a copy of title certificate from us and letter from Revenue + Customs titled 'Import Vehicle Post Clarence Checks Satisfied'

Letter Body Here:

I'm being a bit dim here but is that all does it mean that everything is paid and I can register the car?

Thanks for all the answers.

You need a NOVA certificate from HMRC.
You need an MOT.
You need insurance.
You need a V55/5.
You need proof of the vehicle's age - the US paperwork or a letter from BMIHT.
You need money.

That's it.

DVLA don't care about the US title or other local bureaucracy.

DVLA don't need the title? Have the rules changed then?

No, it's just that the foreign paperwork has always been the easiest way to demonstrate the identity/age. But not the only way.
