Hello everybody,
If you exported your car to Scotland, were there any formalities that needed to be completed beforehand? What were they?
What is the best way to export your car? Is there a limit on the number of vehicles, or perhaps the age of the vehicle? Are there limits on emissions or emission controls in Scotland?
What are the expected costs of exporting a car? In your opinion, is it worth it?
Once you arrived in Scotland, what were the applicable taxes? What was the customs process like?
How do you go about registering an imported car in Scotland?
Is it best to buy a car once you have arrived or to bring your car with you, in your opinion?
We look forward to hearing from you!

Hi!
I brought my motorcycle 2 years ago, the procedure is the same for cars,
it`s easy if your car comes from EU and is 10 year old or less,
in order to register your car and obtain UK number plates you need the European certificate of conformity (usually this comes with your vehicle when it is new) or``ministers approval` if you don`t have the certificate,
they going to check your car if meets the UK regulations,
4 most important things...
1-Emissions, 2-headlights (must aim left or center of the road), 3-speedometer (must display also miles), 4-correct mirrors,
if your car does not have the above it `s expensive to replace them therefore
is not worth it to import to the UK, you can find lots of good and cheap cars in Scotland.
