Hi there

I took my uk registered car with me to work abroad in 2004 and am soon
to return. As I was away for over 12 months I had to officially export
the car as far as the dvla was concerned using the relevant form and
send off part of my registration document.

I have 2 questions:

1) How do I legally get from the uk port to my home as far as road tax
is concerened when I'm only supposed to register the vehicle AFTER my
arrival to the UK?

2) Do I need to worry about any customs and excise issues upon my
return? Do I need any forms filled in given my particular circumstances
for example?

Many thanks

Mickey

saying :

Simple. You just drive it perfectly legally on it's foreign plates.

2) Do I need to worry about any customs and excise issues upon my
return? Do I need any forms filled in given my particular circumstances
for example?

No, you just need to re-register it in the UK.

Thanks Adrian,

Unfortunately I'm returning before I've had a chance to apply for my
foreign plates!
