    Tony, my understanding is if it has a civie plate no matter what country there is no issue because it has been registered, the issue here is technically it is not registered with the DVLA as a civilian vehicle
  2. Surveyor
    This was my understanding from the DVLA but was told after their offices shut so I couldn't check, well off again to try for the MoT

    Has any one come across ion where you have a vehicle direct from the MoD, to get it registered for the first time you need an MoT. The test station has advised it will fail the MoT as it does not have a registration plate, therefore cant register it for a number plate. They suggested using display plates but feel this could lead to problems at a latter date
  4. Surveyor
    Probably a stupid question but have you tried an foi with the MoD

    Guys Thanks for the help, the vehicle is in an EU country, I will be investigating all suggestions and report back for others, the web page shown is a good one and will be looking further, only issue with it is that I need to have concluded the sale, I am being cautious and will not part with money till I get the keys and documents

    Does anyone know who/where to go to get insurance for a foreign registered vehicle still abroad, plan is to bring it back to the UK and then register here. All the companies I have spoken to will not consider it or even issue a cover note

    Many thanks, will try and get more information, I have done an FOI to the MoD as I am the first civvy owner

    I may have to recover a land rover from a EU country, I will be alone and thinking of an A Frame towing system, does any one have advise on how and where to connect the tow if no dolly. If I am going to use my land rover any idea where to hire a dolly to take the front wheels which has a NATO hitch compatible towing Many thanks in advance

    I have the original issued jack for the Land Rover, it has a turning mechanism to raise it, there is a bar which fits into the square socket and a ratchet handle, there appears to be a bit missing to connect the two, does any one have any suggestions. Would like to try and keep as much as possible as originally issued

    Having stripped out bits and found the FFR land rover still has the original wires from the wing Ariel to the cab including the fittings. I am purchasing the mountings and ariel to make the external appearance as a radio Land Rover. Has any one wired these arials to a civilian radio so I can listen to local radio stations when traveling? What are the pit falls, and has any one have good advice

    I have the Land rover official parts hand book for the 1986 defender, does any one know the difference from the Military one?
  18. Surveyor
