"No, really, you give the V5 to me and just send that little scrap to the DVLA" "Yeah, right, mate, not falling for that one...", etc. If the export flag has been set, then it only needs to be NOVA'ed if its brought back to the UK.

So the V5C I had was in the sellers name. You bring the V5C to the NCT centre during the VRT appointment and then after paying VRT and paying for road tax, you get your Irish logbook. I just checked the old UK reg numebr and you can see its marked for export in the attached image

marcos_94 wrote: » Does it not depend on how the previous change of ownership went? In this situation, if the current owner/seller bought the car in the UK to bring into Ireland, then the V5C would have been marked as being for export, so it would show up as exported on the system

And you would have no problem producing utility bills, bank statements, tax records, salary slips etc. in your name with a UK address? Like I said, you'd probably get away with it. Until you come across someone stopping you and asking some questions...

What a foolish thing to do though. Unless of course he reckoned he could find someone over here to offload it to. I guess someone like that was born every day...
