Import number plate Font size?? - Bandit - 15-09-2017
Its a 1995 M plate mate, registered as a 240k Skyline,
I've also got the Jumvea Certificate and the import documents and all the shipping and dvla documents showing its an import and the dates it was brought into the country, :thumbup1: so at least they can't argue with it being an import? :biggrin:

Not sure mate, it came through a company called SN IMPORTS in Bristol in 2006? they imported the car and sorted all the shipping etc? i have the paperwork for the shipping and the dvla registration but nothing saying anything about an SVA test :confused:
It came into the country with 96k on the clock and its only done 128k now so not done a massive amount of miles in the past 3 years by the look of it :thumbup1:

if it was imported and mot'd you can run the small plates if its been sva tested you cant as part of the sva test says the plates must conform too uk laws.(but your saving grace is they wont dig that deep mate and prob just let you go)

Dont think you would have needed an SVA test since the car was over 10 years old when imported - at least thats what the rules were at that time - may have changed since.

Information Regarding Importing to the United Kingdom
UK home | why us | why import | import rules | testimonials | odometer certification
The rules regarding what can be imported into the UK depend on the age of the car:
* Any car over 10 years old can be imported. It will need to pass an MOT like any other car.
* Cars less than 10 years old and made before 1997. These will need an MOT and pass the SVA test. This is a test to see if the car is suitable for use in the UK.
* Cars manufactured from December 31st 1996. If over 3 years old these will need an MOT and pass the ESVA. This is similar to the SVA but is more stringent and cars will need a 'model report' to be imported.
If you are trying to import a car made after December 31st 1996 please make sure it has a model report:

At time of import your car was more than 10 years old so no need for SVA. and it was not after Dec 1996 so no need for esva.
basically all good matey.
