Wow. Damn VRT probably still rules it out though

I tried checking but you have to refer the car to Rosslare. The new online checking system is a balls as they've removed the majority of niche cars..

Yeah, I reckon the VRT would still be fairly steep on it here Niall, and a lot higher than what they're quoting for CSLs now

I think its Vehicle Registration Tax - the original posters were Irish, so i'm guessing to import that car from the UK to Ireland you must have to pay it on top?

They also apply this tax (on a sliding scale for the year) to imported cars, and a 2003 CSL is currently costing €5500 to bring in. Then you've annual road tax of €1566

Ouch

Wy can't you leave I Uk registered and avoid these costs?

Also they base the tax on 36% of a value they determine for the car, not what you actually paid so for the GT3 they probably still value it circa €50k which would mean €18k import duty

UK plates are a bit of a give away in the south. They'll impound the car if you're caught plus a fine, which is more than likely as 90% of their tip off's come from jealous neighbours..
