Driving in UK on Finnish Export Plates: Loopholes?

Post by Cod » Thu Apr 28, 2005 11:43 am

..if anyone could let me know of someone they know that got away with this it would be great... driving a Finnish Tax Free Export car, VAT paid in UK but not licenced or registered here, for 6 months then returning to Finland...

DVLA are ambiguos over this, over the phone they say 'just don't get caught', on paper they say 'not a chance'.

To register the car here is hardly worth it (including altering headlamps etc) since it seems we're on the verge of moving up to Finland.

Tulli say 'no problem' to returning there with Finnish Export plates as long as VAT is paid in UK and all the other conditions on residence etc

Thanks again in advance

David
