Was it ever registered in Europe? Probably not as it came from a dealer. You want the US title for sure and then whatever the Dutch equivalent of the NOVA forms are I reckon.
Then an MoT.
I don't think the car is originally a Cali car as it would have blue plates - I think those plates are similar to a Mustang I once owned, a car which came to CA from another state.
Saccy will know more on that though ...
Great thanks for the information, that would certainly make it much easier to register. Tho it is odd that it says it needs an IVA ? I suppose ill send it off without on and see what they say
Also does anyone know where a good source for bulbs are ?
thanks.
I registered mine just a couple of months ago and didn't need an IVA
In fact, 90% of the form I sent was left blank
Have you requested your packup already? That took a couple of weeks to arrive.
As Chrisvega said, it really is very simple. Get it MOT'd, insured off the VIN (AdrianFlux offer this, as I'm sure many do), and then send off the form that came in the Registering an Import Packup
I also went for the JDM rear lights from Japan and they are lovely! I did get stung for another £70 at customs though
I got stung aswell unfortunalty, unless iam mistaken it doesnt seem like theirs a great source of parts in the UK so your forced to buy pretty pricy US parts, especilly when you take shipping and customs.
you'll get pointed in the rifht direction.
