www.gov.uk/importing-vehicles-into-the-uk/paying-vat-and-dutyCan someone who understands this confirm this for me Please? Car originally UK registered then exported to Sweden unsure of when. Then reimported to UK. Seller has no nova form or vat receipt. Car is 1974 or 75. As I read it only vat is payable on this! But car needs heavy restoration so who knows value of it? Should I run away or is it viable? Thx Ian

Can he prove he is legally the owner and what's his reason for not having the paperwork?

Sorry guys no signal at work.
Car has original UK tax disc with old UK reg no on it.
It's been back 12 year's in UK.
Previous owner passed away and his family can't find any more paperwork.
I've put seller wise on this that vat will be due at value of car when it arrived.
I'm about to ring him as car needs a heavy restoration job just to get mot without going for concourse finish.
I reckon £500-£600 in parts getting them reasonably priced.
Probably a solid 2 months work in it.
Car runs + drives needs rear wing, 2 rear doors, Pair of sills + who knows what else?
Underside looks better than 80's to 90's 240's from picture I've seen.
Thx Ian

Good call Gaz I had a 1/2 hr conversation and kinda forgot to ask UK reg.
He's wanting as much money as he can get for car though.
Realistically if whoever buys it is unaware of difficulty of dealing with HM Customs they are probably gonna be in for a tough time.
I'll get reg number of him tomorrow + check it out.
It's only worth what it's worth to me as I pretty much know it's a lot of work.
Done a later very similar car that wasn't as bad bodily.
Also currently looking for classic wagon to make transporter so probably bad timing for me.
Got a couple of cars to sell + just blown a week + half's wages on 142 bits.
Only been back at work 3 weeks since being off since Xmas.

Definitely worth checking as I would assume that if it is then you can just apply for a logbook.

If it still has its UK plates and an old tax disc then just apply for the V5C.

Thx for all suggestions so far.

What have you got to lose by applying for the logbook, they will either issue it and take your £25 or ask to see the car, confirming its legit the issue the book or refuse because it has an export marker then ask to see it. Of course you don't mention that you know it went out of the country.

Of course you don't mention that you know it went out of the country. I can't buy it till I got funds from selling other stuff. Seller paid peanuts for it and wants as much as possible for it. He's letting auction run. He would accept my offer if he gets messed around which I think he will! I'll try phoning Doovla but it generally depends who picks phone up from previous experience with them. I wouldn't mess anyone about saying I'll buy it till I got cash in hand. Idk why I called you Dollywobbler when you're 1300dolly. Just used to reading his posts alot I guess? Apologies + cheers for help! |

The banter at work however with my boss does get fairly dark + personal Should really leave a webcam on it would be funnier than so called comedy on TV. Gonna try Doovla while I'm off for a week tho as said I need to pull my finger out + flog a few bits n bob's. |

Ok finally found out as originally UK registered it doesn't matter about NOVA.
Need to send proof of ID ie: driving licence, foreign documents and fresh MOT.
No £55 fee as previously UK registered.
HMRC can't tell me anything however without submitting NOVA form.
So probably best re-registering with DVLA as previously suggested.
Afaik they work out import duty on value of vehicle when re-imported which is anyones guess without photographic evidence or agreed valuation.
Thx Ian
