dollythelw Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Please be gentle, Im shiny and new.. I have a 12 tonne Iveco 110-17AW courtesy of the German Army and I would like to register it here, is it as straightforward as; Footman James for Insurance Booking it in for its test at the DVSA/DVA/whichever letters we feel like this week Taking German paperwork in sticky mitts along with insurance, MOT and shiny Class 1 licence to DVLA office (do they still exist?) and paying for a first registration fee, 6 months tax and walking away with a number plate? Or has the world got more complicated? Many thanks Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edd Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Life has got more complicated. Somebody I'm sure will be along soon to explain the new process. The first important bit is that the local DVLA offices no longer exist. Everything has to now be done via Swansea. Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcot1751 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I think you will need to fill in a NOVA form to prove duties paid if due to HMRC :undecided: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Johns Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) Is the truck direct from German military never previously registered in Germany and if so you have the German military release papers giving year of manufacture etc? It will at least need the tachgraph calibrating and certified before its test unless its got a current cert. and change the headlamps to LH dipping Edited June 18, 2014 by Nick Johns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollythelw Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) I trundled over and bought it from a company in Germany that sells ex-bunderwehr vehicles, so Ive got two registration documents (both in my name) showing the temporary German registration number to enable it to drive out of Germany, the both state the exact date of manufacture if thats of use? Ive also got the last TUV and the original receipt showing tax was paid when I bought it so hopefully HMRC can go whistle :-) Edited June 18, 2014 by dollythelw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollythelw Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) what on earth is NOVA? ok - Ive found it! eeek Edited June 18, 2014 by dollythelw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollythelw Posted June 18, 2014 Author Share Posted June 18, 2014 Thanks Nick, it looks like Im to do a VAT NOVA 1 form, I'll get in touch with the helpline tomorrow and check through it all, other than that hiccup is it broadly the same process as it was ?

The NOVA is a must or you will not be able to start the registration process, I recently imported a Dodge WC 52 from Holland and I had to fill the NOVA form in within 14 days of the vehicle arriving in the UK. DVLA would not do anything without confirmation of this being done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollythelw Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 NOVA would appear to be the easiest of the problems to solve given the time Ive just spent on the phone, now I need to either do an IVA or convince Iveco to produce a type approval letter for a vehicle never sold in the UK, followed by filling out a VTG1 (first MOT form) and then an MOT is it really that convoluted? :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollythelw Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 lots of kids mean I need the quad cab of the 110-17 as opposed to the Danish 168. the Danish fleet seem to be mostly the IVA exempt side of 25 years old - I'll give Crouch a call to check though. Iveco seem to be fairly keen to help at the mo so fingers crossed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollythelw Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 If the fitment of a "type approved" rear under run protection system is a hoop anyone is being forced to jump through may I direct you to the exemptions glossary of the regulations; basically if your vehicle has all wheel drive or difflocks (or a combo of) you are driving an "off road vehicle" and exempt from fitting RURPS Still engaged in a discussion with IVA technical as to if I need an IVA at all given the fact the vehicle "was designed for and used by the military services" Lovely people in Germany in the armed services department are trying to find tech specs, next line of attack is the TUV and Federal motor transport agency/KHB.. :undecided: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
