can anybody tell me wot is involved in doing this car is ford escort from malta cheers

I have to do the same.

 

 

I was told you need a new Mot then take the Malta paperwork and a receipt to a Dvla main office, there may be some import tax to pay ? i was told by someone that you may not have to as they are in the Eu ?

 

 

If you find out more let me know, mines not running yet so no Mot.

[Skimmer]

It will need to be insured aswell , usually done on the chassis number as the MOT will also have the chassis number on it , the dvla then take the MOT along with other paperwork and change the chassis number on the MOT to the new reg they issue....usually the duty/VAT is paid by the person that imports it into the country and custom & excise dont usually let them off the docks etc till its been paid (a receipt is given as proof) though Malta being in the Eu may mean no duty owed ? ive imported from other countries but not Malta.....Hope this helps

Malta being in the Eu may mean no duty owed ?

 

I brought one back with mine like has been said all you need is proof of owner ship and make sure the chassis numbers tie up with the Maltese log book.
