Importing pre 1960 Classic from N.I.

RonnieT

A little help and advice folks, I've looked on the citizensinformation.ie site but cant' quite find the answers I'm looking for...

I have a 1954 Ford Popular (slightly modified) which I'm thinking of selling. It's in Northern Ireland, on original UK plates, registered but on SORN (declared off road) and no current MOT.

I had a vague inkling someone once told me there was no VRT, NCT and cheap tax on cars over 30 years old in Ireland. Is this the case ? If so, I'll stick it up on a few Irish sites as there would be little hassle for anyone interesting in importing it. And if it's more compliciated than my 'man in the pub' quality advice, I'll leave it!

Thanks in advance

All true!

You car would cost less than €100 to get registered and taxed here, if bought by a ROI resident.

Anyone down here interested in such a vehicle would know this, too.

G'luck.

Very good, will start getting it up on a few Irish sites over the next couple of days.

Is there anywhere in particular that folks would recommend for advertising classics ? I know carzone, donedeal, cbg... where else is good ?

Hehe, nope, that ebay one's a mere twin cam Fiat engine - that would be a laughing stock

Mine's a lot faster than that, with a lot more V8;)
