You will have to pay for a new Model Report to be created or hire one from a dealer who has imported one in the past.

Just because model reports don't have one doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Danny is right; all 'model reports' are compiled by the ministry, who ask if you want to make your 'model report' available to others for a fee. In order to be sure whether a 'model report' is available to rent or not; you HAVE to contact the ministry; if the answer is 'no' it doesnt mean that one doesnt exist, only that the owner doesnt want to share it. 'modelreports.com' are regularly mentioned on Scoobynet as the source of all available comparisons tests but this is nonsense.; theyre no better than any of the other import and SVA crooks in Southampton.

If there isnt a comparison test available to rent then you might consider registering the car in Cyprus or Eire where I believe that the process is quite a lot easier.

Iain Litchfield did my model report, I don't know if he's renting it out though.
Try for nothing ,.if not you can have one made for around 2.5k, Plus a letter from subura, If they will give you one ?? I waited over 5 months all in all .
Get in touch if you need any info on it. Need all the general clock conversions, fog light, cat 1, fuel neck restrictor, remap for uk fuel, has to be totally standard too.
