Importing a PSV to the UK from Jersey
Discussion
Hi,
I'm currently considering importing a bus from Jersey for use as a private 'preserved' vehicle. I'm wondering what I would need to do to get it road-legal on a Class V MOT, and what I would need to declare to HMRC, taxes that need paying etc. I understand I need to fill out a V55/5 form and for that I need a COC - can I apply for a new one under the Jersey registration mark? Also, what ferries would take a 9M and potentially a second 11M single-deck bus on board, and would I need to drive it through France to get home? Rather not do that due to the weak 4-pot engines that propel these, if I can avoid it.
This isn't quite as important as the rest, but could I register it to a private plate or would I have to use the random gov-issued plate at first?
Thanks in advance.
