pete2052 Posted March 31, 2018 Author Posted March 31, 2018 As I understand, you will need an IVA test, as with a new vehicle in the uk. So no more than normal for a new vehicle to make legal? 1

I was surprised to find it’s quite straightforward........if the car has gone through the usual process prior to registration in IoM (i.e. IVA etc), then just usual DVLA forms to transfer to UK plate.
Eastwood Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 Iva and conformity paperwork.........admittedly I’ve not been thru the process myself, but my neighbour did it with a Caterham that had been tested and registered in IoM. Seemed no more of a headache than the process applied if the car was built and tested over here.

Jim G Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 Why is it any different to getting any other import registered here? If Pete has build photos, receipts and registration etc. what’s the problem?
Kingster Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 Reading between the lines, does it need a full IVA? Thus it’s like buying an unregistered car not an import? still a fairly good price though!

If Pete has build photos, receipts and registration etc. what’s the problem? Your right, importing a kit car is no different to importing any other car from the IoM, unfortunately the devil is in the detail. All cars under ten years old require proof of approval as part of the reregistering in the UK process. With a production car this is relatively easy, if the vehicle is already sold in the UK, it already has approval, as you can use something called a “model report” to show that your car has an equivalent spec to a type approved UK model. However, with a kit car you can’t do this, (a fully homologised Sport Turbo would be different), and so the only way to prove compliance is with an IVA test. Its not the end of the world though, and the car is still a good price, you just have to factor IVA and registration in. A rough outline of the process here. https://www.gov.uk/importing-vehicles-into-the-uk (The key bit that complicates things, i believe, is that as the IoM is neither in Europe nor the UK*, so you’re unfortunately stuck in a different import channel that simply bringing something over from the continent). *for the curious, I looked it up, technically it’s a self-governing British Crown dependence.

I'd like to point out that there is no import duty or Vat payment required. The isle of Man is included in the UK Vat scheme and so Vat has already been paid when it was purchased from Westfield so there is no need to notify HMRC Thanks Pete
