Stu3y Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 Would it have been easier to put it on a UK log book? Not suggesting this is the right or wrong thing to do, but you seem to be jumping through a lot of hoops. Its thoughts like that what cause Dvla to do inspections in the first place. Not so much for imports but uk cars cos they know there are loads of v5 and tags in peoples drawers. "Memorabilia according to ebay sales" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question was, would it have been easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not! If its been dormant for more than a few years then it'll attract an inspection and if its a left hooker on a UK plate = hello fraud squad, DVLA rubber glove brigade! I think the DVLA are sick of helping the fruadsters and ringers - only taken best part of 30 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True - but they owned / operated multiple 'identical' cars and there was no attempt to defraud anyone. To anyone outside the 'rally world', the cars were identical and handy when you registered a series of consecutive reg. numbers each year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
