curious?
well out of Curiosity i want to knwo if anyones managed to register a type r in the u.k after those new laws in july.
|
well Im importing my Type-R from Cyprus to the UK early next year. Ive never heard of this!
|
i don't know about from cyprus but from japan you definately need a model report to register it and they have none at the moment and none for the sti. there are rumours for the 5 door sti but i ahevn't been able to find one.
|
i got a type R from japan, but i got it through a garage.But was registered ok.
|
Well my Type-R is from Singapore originally (from Japan before?) and I will be getting it SVA'd in Cyprus before I take it back. I hear you can hire model reports. Can anybody shed light on this topic?
Will I have problems? |
Anybody shed any light on this?
By, One worried Tye-R owner. |
AFAIK,
nobody has had a model report done for any 2 door scoob and until someone gets one done... you aint bringing one back to the UK (actually you will be able to, you just wont be able to register it IE: drive it on public roads). I would try and speak to GC8 on here, he gave some advice to me and really seems to know what he's on about. I've been lucky and just got mine from a garage that had pre-registered the car prior to the law changing but took their time bringing it over... Im not sure what the situation is with regards to bringing one back from Cyprus, although I suppose if you are getting SVA'd in Cyprus, it will just be classed as an EU car anyway and may be able to get round it that way...? Good luck! J :) |

Some 'Type Rs' will have been registered as the first ones where built and registered in 1996 (Septemeber onwards) so theyll only need an E-SVA. Simon |
Thanks for that Jay; Ive only just seen what youd said.

CyprusScooby; Ive posted on your thread already; I cant see you having a problem so long as the vehicle is registered in an EU country; regristration will be straightforward needing nothing more than an MOT and money. I dont know how long youve owned the vehicle for but it will proboably count as a 'personal import' which would be registered without the need for a model report (Im not certain about this as none of the cars Ive imported were personal imports). The only possible problem that I can foresee is if your vehicle was registered in Cyprus before they joined the EU, but if it qualifies as a personal import then that wouldnt be relevant. (Btw: a personal import is a car that youve owned for a specified minimum period of time whilst you were a resident in the country)

Simon Thanks once again. |
Im starting to wonder how difficult and expensive itd be to take a car to Cyprus and then register it; Ive been tempted by some very cheap STI 4 Type R's in auction recently...... Id be grateful if you could tell me whats involved for regristration; compliance testing and residence/insurance requirements.

Simon Because Cyprus has now joined the EU, cars here now have to have an MOT. They are also taxed as per the engine size. (same principle as the UK). Because Im not a Cypriot National, I was able to purchase my Scooby Tax Free!:p |
