Doesn't need IVA if it's over 10 years old.

i know you`ve changed pretty much every bit of your 2door car this may be in your benefit Rob, as Customs will want their slice of the current market value of your said vehicle,

i.e mate of mine imported an Evo 3 integrale Ł8000GBP with paperwork etc to prove, Once imported customs demanded 20% of their current value valued at Ł32,500 for en example of the same condition as the one imported, in this case 100% perfect with 34,000kms, he ended up paying EXACTLY Ł8000GBP in tax, charges, MOT, and a years tax

they propperly take the piss mate

heard this several times from lads in the VeeDub Bus world, shocking.

There is not duty to pay on European imports. As we are part of the eu. Outside of the eu there are duty charges

Insure it on the VIN number
MOT it on the VIN number,
Then as below,
