Registering an American Import question
Discussion
I've just imported a 1981 American car and I'm about to post off all my paperwork to DVLA, however I understand that the DVLA only need the original title and Bill of sale documents to ascertain the date of first registration.
On both of these documents, the only date is '1981', with no reference to month or day.
Obviously the Title document in the US is very different to that of a UK V5 so I suspect that US Titles often (maybe never?) indicate the exact date of first registration, just the year - mine certainly only shows the year.
For those that have imported cars before where the Title only states the year, without the month or day, what did you put as the date of first registration on the V55/5 and in the absence of any other documentation to support, did the DVLA just accept the date you entered on the V55/5, or did they ask for additional evidence of date of first reg, and if so, what did you provide that they found acceptable?
