LightBulbFun Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 49 minutes ago, Talbot said: 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... I saw that doing the rounds on the Book of Farce etc, https://www.facebook.com/DAVO.bookface/posts/pfbid0qQMJi9Z6bt83gq2R2pQMHU6EVme8XHzgvMVjLLj45RmqZadqPqahmSijp68dPUNQl but reading it, to me it just comes across like just a bunch of FUD to me, no links to anything or the such like, a load of hand waving panic, without actually understanding the system to hand looking at it myself, looks like its still entirely possible to do it all yourself https://www.gov.uk/importing-vehicles-into-the-uk/telling-hmrc and heres a link to a NOVA1 form so you can roughly see what your up against https://bfgnet.de/files/282/VAT-NOVA1-v03-feb-20.pdf (I would see if you can request one from HMRC or whoever to get the latest version) ill also tag @Dave_Q @Dick Longbridge because I know they have recent experience importing vehicles to the UK egg, BeEP and Dick Longbridge 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_Q Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 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 Share Posted February 21 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.

Edit. Also, is there a ferry from Jersey direct to UK, or will that need driving thru france? There is from Jersey to Poole or Portsmouth. VAT on that purchase price is hardly a king’s ransom . The chances of getting stopped at Poole/Portsmouth customs are negligible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes to the CoOp in Donington regularly. The owner, whose name escapes me, has lunch in the Crown most days and is also selling his Oldsmobile Toranado. A two tone monster that's also been on these pages, ostensibly being sold by some classic car mob in Leicester. That'll just leave him pottering about in his scruffy K reg Olds 98. Any idea how much I should offer him? And I know fuck all about the big green Merc. egg and grogee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
