On the odd occasion I had to complete the DVLA forms, all I shared was the overseas log book, UK MOT and insurance documents ( when seeking to tax car at same time). I guess I was lucky given the overseas log book had date of manufacture, registration etc and so no more questions from DVLA.

Did similar to what datsfun mentioned. Supplied original overseas ownership doc that had the year of manufacture. I imported in May 2015 and did just this. Also didn't need type approval. Below list was what I used from DVLA.
• a filled-in V55/5 application form (the V355/5 leaflet will help you fill in this form)
• the first registration fee (see section 9)
• the fee for the tax disc (see leaflet V149)
• a current UK certificate of motor insurance (this must
be valid on the date the tax disc starts or when the tax
disc is issued, whichever is the latest)

I believe the certificate of conformity is if you are importing a more modern car (sub 10 years old).
We had this issue importing more modern RX7s back when I bought mine.
It's a certificate confirming the car meets certain environmental and safety regulations (none of which would have been about unless you've imported a more recent 350/370?).
You may also need a certificate of "Mutual Recognition", but this is to confirm the headlights dip to the left (for an imported LHD car) etc, but I believe again that a) you're car will likely be too old, and b) you shouldn't get a UK MOT pass if the beams are wrong etc..
Just my 2p worth!
