After only ever driving a 240z once at the age of 17, thanks to an offer from a mate who had just bought one, I've finally driven one again yesterday!! Its certainly been several years since that day. Over the last few months I have been preparing the one I bought but have only been able to drive it 6 feet up and down the drive. Its an American import so I have had to sort a few things, especially the rear lights + all the bolts that someone hadn't tightened up properly!!. Well, yesterday it was MOT time and to say I was nervous was a bit of an understatement. I drove very slowly to the test center 3 miles away and was hugely relieved to find that the car felt fantastic. A few rattles and bangs but nothing untoward. Very pleased to say that my car passed its MOT with only a minor advisory concerning both ball joints having slight play (now on the list to replace). Driving back was fun. Didnt go mad as the car still needs setting up properly but what a car. Very very pleased to finally own and drive one. The engine noise and responsiveness of the handling was fantastic.
Ok, so I'm almost there, only the registration process. Am I correct in obtaining a V55/5 form? Do I need any other form and does it really take 6 weeks to obtain a british plate?
I have the NOVA number + American ticket so I'm hoping the process will be straightforward.
