Importing an older car - SVA required?

[5tevo]

I am importing a 1970's car from the U.S and was wondering if due to it's age (1972) whether it needs any form of spetialist testing/adaptation to be registered in the UK? - SVA or whatever it is called tehse days.

I have had Japanese cars imported in the past that have had to have the usual fog light etc but they have been much newer cars.

Thanks in advance.

Stevo.

UK lighting and MOT only if it's over ten year sold, so you'll be fine.

That's the message I was getting from the UK Gov site, superb thanks everso for confirming.

Just need to get round the 10% duty and 20% tax

Import it in bits and declare it scrap that'll save you a few pounds

If it's old, rare, not made anymore and has most of its original components it might be worth looking at BTI.

Looks like no duty and 5% VAT due to age and condition, result!

Thanks all.
