Kevin Pullen Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 From your side you only fill in the permanently exporting part of the V5, he needs to find out from his end what he needs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Pullen Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Sorry John not trying to be negativehave you tried googling https://www.howtogermany.com/pages/import-car.html In the instance that you have a UK-registered vehicle that you want to take out of the country for 12 months or longer (sometimes referred to as a permanent export) you will need to complete these 3 stages: Inform the DVLA by completing the V5C/4 section of your V5C registration certificate. This section will have the heading "Notification of permanent export" and the V5C is sometimes called the logbook Then you will need to send the V5C to: DVLA Swansea SA99 1BD Keep hold of the rest of your V5C in case you need it to register your vehicle abroad. If you don't have your V5C you will need to get one by completing a V62 form. When you have filled in the form, the address you need to send it to can be found on the form. You'll need to obtain a V561 certificate of permanent export if you have already left the UK. You can get one of these by getting and completing a V756 form. If you have a vehicle with a personalised registration plate, you will need to either transfer or retain it before you begin the process of exporting your vehicle or you will lose your right to the registration number.

kenton Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I recently sold one of my kit cars to a buyer in Austria, He waited until the funds were showing in my account before collection so I was happy to give him a scanned copy of my V5 so he could arrange his insurance prior to collection day. I kept the portion of the V5 that you use for permanent export, he kept the rest to register it in Austria. The car had an MOT and road tax so was OK to drive to Dover, The next day I declared it SORN to get a tax refund and lastly sent the V5 off. The number plates stayed on the car for his journey. All in all a trouble free process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Taylor Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Hi I sold my last 7 to a guy from prague, he arranged insurance in Prague on the uk number plate, once home he then had to test and register the car there , (his problem) As a token of faith I left the road tax running until he reached the ferry then cancelled it , I also had a document / bill of sale drawn up stating that as he was driving it on UK roads that from the time of collection he was liable for any road traffic infringements, I also filled in the permanently exporting form dated on the day of collection and enclosed his name and address, I had this drawn up in chezch as well as english all copies were signed and witnessed by a 3rd party and off he went north of scotland to prague in 3 days re number plate its not a problem as he has to insure the car on the plate that its sold with this then confirms the cars identity and insurance status in uk, france, germany on any NPR cameras, once back in germany he will have to go through his own government department to check the car and issue a german plate at which point he will simply dispose of the old ones hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Not wishing to ‘rain on your parade’ I doubt he’ll get the car registered in Germany as it is. I suggest he contracts Westfield’s German agent. I recall the sport 250 required some work to get through the emission requirements and that’s on a Ford ECU. The S2000 is on an Omex motorsport ECU which doesn’t have ODB etc which will be required from memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 I'm in the process of exporting my son's Z4M Coupé to Australia. It had to be cleaned to the satisfaction of the AQIS biosecurity inspectors - time will tell whether it will pass muster. They are so fussy that you must empty the screen washer bottle, pressure wash the tyres and wheel arches/underside, and if it has wheel spacers they will not certify it for road use. The arcane requirements are to be seen to be believed. The image of Australia as a happy-go-lucky 'G'Day mate!' country evaporates when you meet their bureaucrats who would make even the French look laid back!
