    Anyone know what would be the last date I could ship a car from Japan to have it here in time for the current VRT system, I was thinking 2 months beforhand would be time enough so end of April start of May, does this sound right?

    Don't know the answer. Do not cut it too fine though - a right sickener if you got caught for new VRT rates and new road tax!

    Not your ornery onager

    And a car that's worthless too in this country, unless it is a really high end performance vehicle

    I suppose the car could still stay in the port, not be registered here and shipped straight to the UK or the North...

    Isn't there something about all Jap imports into the UK come via Ireland, something to do with importing into the UK from outside the EU not being allowed.

    I remember a friend telling me years ago about seeing a ship load of cars coming into Dublin port and being registered on the ship with 00 ZZ xxxxx regs before the ship hit off for the UK.

    Dunno if it's still the case.

    That was knocked on the head years ago. They used to have to drive off the boat and back on. Then they just entered Irish waters and now they can go straight in. I think HMC where loosing too much money on duty to us.
