RedM Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 It may be that I'm misunderstanding something but what is the year after which imported Supras cannot be registered legally in the UK? I thought it was something like 2001. If so, what would be done with a Supra made in a later year (registering it etc)? I hope this makes sense to someone.

Jake Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 I'm not an importer but as I understand it : You can't register later model (Facelift/VVTi) Supras at the moment because the necessary model report does not exist. Therefore 97/98 and onwards Supras can't be imported and registered. This model report business is a new requirement in the last year or so, before then you could import/register any Supra you liked.

RedM Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 So anyone selling one must have had it in the UK before this rule change or else its a bit dodgy? Seen a 2001 import on Autotrader! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 What reg is the car? Autotrader sometimes list cars with the the import date shown as the manufactered date. It's a problem with the DVLA database, or rather that it's not checking for the "Was previously registered abroad" field. It doesn't mean the car is dodgy though, just that it's not a 2001 made car, 2001 is the date it was first registered in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
