Dealer in Denmark, not only collected old cars but didn't sell some of the new stock

Reminds me of that old Hillman Avenger (was it?) that was posted here a few months back that had never been sold or driven.

It would be strange to see Fiat 127's, Uno's, and even original 500's with 08-D plates!

I'd say you'd import one from SA much cheaper yourself and avoid the middleman.

The Mk1's are still made in South Africa. They are called the Citi Golf down there.

...........yes but its a bit misleading since the body is actually different from a Mk1 Golf, so you couldn't make a brand new Mk1 GTI.

The "C" pillar is different, even on the 5 door, and there is a body crease down the side which the MK1 didn't have. This crease, or lack of it, is one of the nice features of the MK1 and it is why the MK2 looks heavier. They tried to make the City Golf look a bit more like a Mk2.

one guy paid 26xx euro for a brand new 1.6 lada from the 1970's so if a lady is that much im guessing they have a classic uno turbo in there... and i have a few quid in the bank..... what id do for another uno turbo....

or just a classic mini or whatever but yeah still , congrats to everyone who got there first and bought them all up first , will see some floating around ireland in no time !!

Is it even possible to register an unregistered 20-year-old car for the first time?

macplaxton

You can do it in the UK, so I don't see why you couldn't do it here. Even if you couldn't, then surely you could register it in one EU state and transfer it to another?

Max_Damage

I wonder if you could get some sort of allowance because the cars are so old. Such as, even though it would have an 08-D plate, it would still be exempted from the NCT because of their age. I mean, there is no way any of these would pass emissions tests alone.

Why not, it would be theoretically a new car!A nice new car!!:DYou would attract some attention at shows!!!

Renotec

Lads,
I can see it now. A lovely 127 with 08 plates. Retro interior and classic Italian design and a big old airbag stuck to the steeringwheel. Spare wheel swapped for a space saver and a big old Kat in the boot so that it would comply with the Eu regs.

J*s*s beam me up Scotie!!

That's the problem though, it wouldn't meet new car safety & emissions regs?

I dont think that would be an issue to the registration office,you would get a 08 plate(08D127?:D) though how you would get through an nct emissions test is another thing!!They would surely have to test it to the spec of when the car was built?

But by the time you pay VAT and VRT it's not worthwhile, you could but a really good resto and benefit from cheap tax and insurance for a lot less money

Not an issue for 4 years, just buy a few of them, store them, and sell them to someone else after 3 and a half

I know things are slow here at the moment in the main dealers but at least they have managed to sell their 70's stock

I would be interesting all the same to see what exactly is the legality of selling one of those. AFAIK a vehicle must meet the current legislation at the time of first registration.
