VRT category C goes up from €50 to €200 on 1st May 2011.

Either move up North or clear it. ZV or DL, your choice.

clear it now. Be prepared to provide evidence of date of purchase and date of entry nto the State. Bear i mind it needs to be roadworthy (unless the UK MoT is still valid) and the chassis number needs to be stamped on the shell.

No you don't need one but - apparently - if you don't have one your car will be subject to some sort of road worthiness test that you could avoid otherwise. I haven't seen this in personally in practice but it seems that's the way things are since the NCT crowd took over.
