AK Cobra Import
Discussion
Hi guys, just wanting some advice on a car I'm looking at importing from Guernsey.
The car is a 2009 AK Cobra Replica in blue, it's beautiful!
Things I'm struggling with, I'm looking at bringing the car over here and getting it SVA/IVA'd and registered in the UK. It needs an IVA as in Guernsey they don't have them, nor MOT's I believe. What is the likelihood of it not passing an IVA, and what could be the problems I may face?
I also have to pay 20% VAT of the purchase price so iv allowed for this when doing it.
The car is registered as a 2009 on the Guernsey logbook, but obviously had a donor car when new. Will it be on an 09 registration when imported here, or a 'Q' plate? As I'm very aware that a lot of these cars are registered on the donor cars old registration, but this has no record of the car on the guernsey logbook, and so no evidence available for the DVLA when registering it id have thought?
Can anyone help further? It'd be much appreciated.
Thanks again, Tom
