Importation Daftness

Heisenburg · 03-11-2013, 11:56 AM

Currently getting the CSL imported into the UK from Ireland. In order to register it with the DVLA and get UK plates, I need to MOT the car first. It failed the MOT. Why? Because it did not have UK plates on the car! Aghhhh!

So anyways, after a lot of to-ing and fro-ing, told them to change the colour and characters on the Irish plates to look like UK plates. MOT passed. But the plates are now illegal! So told them to take them off again and put the originals back on. Of course, I'm being charged for all of this.

Now I'm just waiting for the DVLA to issue UK plates, and then the originals come off and new ones go on.

So if anyone is up in Elms and see 3 different CSL's there...chances are it's the same one!!
