Importing a kit built car from Ireland

[phil5062]

Dear all, I’m interested in a car I’ve seen in Ireland but I’m wondering about the importation issue (IVA test ???)

It was built and fully registered in Ireland Jan 2001
VAT was paid on purchase in 2000
The donor was a 1982 Escort, in the build folder there are lots of the Escorts MOT certificates

Would it need to be IVA tested?
Would the photos and old donor MOTs be enough to get an age related plate?

Many thanks in anticipation
Regards
Phil

It’s hit and miss isn’t it! I’m not sure I want the hassle and stress (and £££) of putting it through the IVA
It’s a Fisher Fury with the classic bonnet (headlights are very low)
