SupraHuman Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 You can not bring a car in via Ireland or the Channel isles.If you do the car needs to undergo a SVA or DVLA(which it won't pass).I've tried Jersey as a loop hole but it don't work.I can bring any car i want in here but it will not be able to be imported to the UK.There is one option tho but it's long and painstaking.Not worth it unless you really,Really want the car.

rik Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 So who is it that normally pays to have model reports done on all the cars that can be brought into this country? If, say five people wanted to import post 98 supras, could they not chip in??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Flat4_ire Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 The draw back is that if you want to register the car in Ireland, it is not free, we have a fairly hefty VRT (Vehicle Registration Tax) which is calculated at 30% of the estimated market value of the car (usually the trade price) Have a look at https://www.ros.ie/VRTEnquiryServlet/showCarCalculator Fill in the details and you're looking at a couple of thousand Euro in VRT which may negate any saving you may think you are making. VRT on 95 rzs twin turbo is only 1100 euros man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DShox Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 ok this Model Report business. you cant import 97 Turbos - nothing to do with transmission. Fails on emissions on the Turbo models. The NAs just about make it. Emissions regs get tighter as the years go by. If you did manage to scrape through on emissions, it'll only be applicable to 97 - 99 (or sommit), cos the regs get tougher thereafter. I've been through all this (believe me - I had a 98 VVTi stuck at port for about 7 months, even considered tunneling!) ... and there aint no loopholes anymore - only favours. o and cost - if you get through first time you're looking at about £3500 - if you fail, then there aint no rebate. You would own the rights to the report and others would pay, say £250 to use it, to get their Supra through ESVA - then you can register it for UK roads.
