Hi all, not too sure if anyone has done this or had experience of this but I currently live in the Channel Islands and I am moving back to the UK in the next couple of months. I have a Porsche that was previously a UK car (not in my ownership) that was then registered in Jersey; now that I am moving back I wish to register it in the UK.

Does anyone know of the costs involved and the relevant people I need to contact? Does the car need an MoT first even before I go to try and re-register it?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Thanks for the advice.

Yeah channel island cars generally have very low mileage unless they go to France a fair bit. I am fortunate enough to be friends with a Porsche specialist here on the Channel Islands and he helped advise me on the right car to go for (it's benefited from a rebuild using the autofarm silsleeve). Mines is a 98 996 with 51k on the clock but I'm very tempted to trade it in once I re-register in the UK as I'm thinking a C4 may be more appropriate going by the weather up North!
