I am currently thinking about selling my 1968 Jaguar 240 to someone back in
the UK.
The car used to be registered in the UK, until I exported it to The
Netherlands back in 1999. It looks very likely now that the car will come
back to the UK. The potential buyer has asked me if I know how to proceed on
the UK side. Unfortunately I don't know, but guess it is a matter of filling
in the correct form and registering it at the DVLA in Swansea.
Can anyone please help us out by explaining the full procedure. I am also
interested to know if the car can have it's old number back if wanted.
Thanks,
Simon,
Rijswijk, The Netherlands

Use the contact link, dont expect an instant response!
The last time I imported a car from the EU I simply drove into the UK and
declared the vehicle at customs.
Where they charged me some money. However as your car is many years old I
cannot say how they would arrive at a figure. On arrival I then had to drive
it directly to my home address, and had some 7 days in which to register the
vehicle with DVLA and MOT it.I believe a licence plate issued would be for
the year the car was built / first registered
Things might have changed since I did it, and as the car was origonally
registered in the uk and was exported with uk tax paid then quite possibly
there would be no duty to pay.
PS I doubt you exported it, in the true meaning, likely you just drove out
and did'nt return.
