look on internet on DVLA. There you find the info.
i drove mine to sweden but i used uk plates but swedish insurance.
dvla also sends export papers etc. make sure to keep thye V5C and dont send it to the dvla in the uk as you would do if you as uk citizen.
thank you very much.i drove mine to sweden but i used uk plates but swedish insurance.

I was thinking about driving it with UK plates as well, but what about the customs... Wondering if they will check the papers when i put the car on the ferry or train.
In that case they will see that it is not registered...
I will check the DVLA. Thank you very much.

(original selling price...??? they have never been sold in the netherlands... great system..... pffffffffff)
i think first, have to do the Pre-Purchase inspection... and if things look like i hope, make sure it gets here!!
check the headlights, mine had euro spec (beam the right direction)
rear fog light and reverse light may have to change position.
speedometer have km/h and miles/hour in sweden it can only be km/h, tvr sell new speedos.
emissions and sound level can also be a problem
hand brake is normally not so good.
customs dover - calais for example did not say anything. bring your reciept and v5c paper that you are the registred keeper.
check if you buy private that the car is not stolen or have finance on it. you might end up returning the car without getting your money back

thanks very much! i think i will do this external pre-purchse inspection... specially for rust, leakage and so on but i think they will do history check as well and otherwise i will do it! This finance on the car that is an interesting one... never heard that before. good idea to check that!rear fog light and reverse light may have to change position.

I called the DVLA when I got mine - they said they have no export plates but apparently that's not a problem in the UK as log as the car is insured and taxed. The seller drove it to Harwich for me to pick up, anyway. At the Hoek I just chanced it, given that it was the night before Christmas Eve just before midnight with only half an hour's worth of driving to my parent's house where I was going to store the car for the time being, and I reckoned the Marechaussee in the right lane of passport control wouldn't be too interested in BPM issues anyway...

that's an idea as well... so you were driving with the UK plates in the netherlands...I was actually thinking about taking the train to France, couse i want to store it first in Belgium...
the insurance was on the VIN? did you use Centraal Beheer?

I got 'Sporttimer' insurance (limited mileage policy for specialist cars which are not used for business; proof of having a 'first'/daily car needed) for my Chim at Europeesche through a broker; the Cerbera is eligible for this too. I even got a green card on the UK reg.
it would be a sporttimer for sure. i will check with Europeesche. thank you very much.Dutch_Cerbera said:
looks like i have found my Cerb, finaly
I would like to drive the car back to the Netherlands.
I know in Germany and over here you can get a export license plate.
Do you have this in the UK as well? And if so what should I do...
thx

Hi Guys
when I bought my Cerbera in UK and exported it to Germany I had the Incurance on my name and the adress of the seller. It was covered by "Temporary Cover Note & Certificate of Motor Insurance" by Norwich Union Insurance Limited. With this contract, the sales contract and the taxplate I left UK passed France and Belgium entred Germany. There was no controll at any border and everything was fine.
Regards
Johannes
