help anyone!! Irish import

[bill88]

HI Guys

 

Does anyone know about vehicles imported from Ireland, weather there needs to be any specific checks done?

I found a mondeo i might go for and its from Ireland, on a T-Plate.

Anyone know of any free check sites i can go on?

 

Cheers Peeps

When you say it's on a T plate, do you mean that's what it's got, or what it should have? If it's on a T plate, surely it's reg with the UK DVLA so you don't need to do anything?

The plates dont mean much here (in the north) like the way you can tell the year with an english or scottish plate you cant with an ni one its just a load of numbers here

yer i give up on that car!! nightmare aint the word, it is a t-reg, (year) but the plate is like a private plate, (from ireland) i contacted the dvla to find out more about it and she asked me for the reg number so i told her and she said that number plate comes back as a T-reg Silver Ford Escort!!

 

i was like....No its a ford mondeo Silver (i was looking straight at the pic of the car) she said dont touch it, so its obviously nicked!!
