Importing 230 SL to UK
« on: June 28, 2020, 17:51:01 »
Would anyone happen to have a Certificate of Conformity that they could share so that I can take the information that is needed for the V55/5 form? The car that I am importing was manufactured Nov 1963. Thanks all

I'd have thought your import agent would help you with that, as well as any paperwork required from the country of it's origin.

You can order that from Milton  Keynes but you have to pay for that.

I haven't been asked about this by Specialised Shipping Services who are handling my importation and registration. You might want to talk to them.

You guys are overcomplicating things.  Check my reply in this thread and use people who know how to do this.  I had zero issues importing my 1963 W111 from Canada to the UK.
