RD350B US import
« on: May 25, 2023, 12:08:08 PM »
A friend of mime has an RD350B US import that he wants to register in the UK.

The engine number has a 351 prefix but this is not on the documentation. I think I have got this right....

The DVLA are refusing to register it without additional paperwork or proof and he is struggling. He has approached them three times since January this year.

What route should he take to get this UK registered?

By "documentation", do you mean the original US logbook, what the Americans refer to as "title"?

Maybe post up what DVLA are requesting but, if it was me, and the answer to the question above is yes, I would show the engine number on the V55 as what is on the US title.

Over the years, UK dealers were very inconsistent on what they put on the forms for first registration of vehicles.

Or… forget the US papers, just get Paul to do a dating certificate and go from there…
Either way you also need a NOVA number..
