Collecting UK car

pilatus09

Im due to collect a car from a UK dealer for import to Ireland, What documents am i required to take from the dealer, Is it just the V5C? Anything else? What parts does he sign and what parts do i sign?

Any info from importers appreciated

He Keeps Part 8 and sends this piece to the DVLA in Swansea, make sure you get the rest of the V5 otherwise you will have problems registering it here when you are VRT'ing.

I'd make sure you have a receipt preferably with time and date of sale just in case you get stopped by the UK Police on the way home and there's no road tax or insurance listed on it when they check the reg. Bring some notification from your insurance company in Ireland that you are covered on the car too.

On the matter of road tax I made some inquiries, here is the Police response;


In reply to your query regarding taxation. If you buy a UK registered
vehicle it cannot be driven on UK roads without a valid excise licence,
even if it heading for export. You can either export it on a trailer or
the garage can export it using trade plates with their driver. If you
choose to move it without a valid excise licence then you could be
'clocked' by ANPR cameras and would be responsible for any offence
thereafter.

Hope that is of assistance.
