Probably as expensive as it is now once inflation is taken into account. Peaked at about £1.20 before dropping back to below £1 in early 2009.

I thought it was below the £1 mark then it spiked to £1.40 in 2013 ish, then down to 99p in 2015 ish then upwards from there..?

Talbot Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I understood there was an issue with a change of regs recently where a NOVA or similar paperwork can only be carried out by the importer of the vehicle, and there are a list of approved importers. Anyone other than that (EG a private individual) is no longer able to do the paperwork themselves. There's apparently already a "tame" importer who will do the paperwork for a £95 fee, but it's still yet another bloody hoop. I'd quite like it tho...

Dave_Q Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Mine was post Brexit but I claimed on the nova form it had been in the UK since before 2020 (almost certainly had but can't prove it) I have also seen some stories doing the rounds about private importers not being able to do a NOVA which seems to directly contradict the gov.uk guidance LBF posted which says you can email them to sort it and gives an address. £95 to fill in some customs form seems a bit much TBH, a suspicious person would think that this is some wheeze by the "tame importer" and the car club to make a few quid.

Lots of stuff which is demonstrably false in that post (you can't get a replacement V5 anymore? If you try and register a car you'll end up with a Q-plate??) that I'd guess the rest of it is nonsense, too. Judging by the level of literacy involved I can only imagine the state of the V55 the author would send off so not really a surprise if it's come back as a 'no'.

Dick Longbridge Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Both of mine had already been imported from Italy and were complete with Nova declaration. I then applied to Doovla for UK registration whereby they insisted on sending out a chap to give it a basic i.d inspection. Simple enough really. egg and LightBulbFun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
