I bought an Accord Type-R in Jersey and imported it. Had to get confirmation from Honda it was type approved, and pay VAT on the price I paid for it (my mate who sold it to me gave me a dodgy invoice). Then I had to get it MOTed, sent all the above plus a form off to the DVLA and they sent me back a V5 and a new reg number.
Amazing car, cost me £8k in total for a 3yo car that had only done 8000 miles pootling round Jersey. By coincidence I saw one in the same colour ("Pirate Black") only yesterday. Eventually I traded it for a Golf R32 which I still kind of regret.

Any of you guy re registered a car in the UK?
I've been gifted a JDM Mazda Bongo Friendee that was then imported to the UK before going off to Ireland and now I wanna bring it back here. Woes it go back on the same plates it had before? Will it be a bitch to insure? If it is I'll just sell it buy a VW.
