    Import

    Hello, Can anybody advise on the process of registering a car when it has been built up using a imported shell , MK2 Escort shell has been imported from SA. Idea is to buy the shell and build it using s/h parts and then have a mk2 ready to register, ideal project I thought, Thanks Richard

    I would make sure you have original log book, paper work vin etc for the SA car with receipt from buyer. This would be the easier route

    If you don't have paper work they might accept age and model by an approved garage or enthusiast club

    If you don't have this you are in affect ringing another UK car by swapping the plates etc, which is a grey area

    If everything inc the shell is brand new there is other ways of registering but you will need receipts for everything and its a log drawn out process

    Just make sure you get the correct paper work when you get an import then you should have no issues. If you buy a full car you are basically paying for a shell as the rest will get refurbed any way.
