Hello.

I am looking for some advice.

I wish to export my PL registered car to the UK. The UK bit I can handle, but what's the process in PL for de-registration of the vehicle? Any help would be appreciated (process, useful websites etc).

I am living in Wroclaw currently.

Many thanks.

MF

In my view not a good idea. Check insurance companies to see who will insure a foreign car in the UK. Also you will have to 'adjust' you car to meet UK standards - otherwise will not get an MOT.

Why would you want to take a car , which i presume is left hand drive to the UK...?

Unless your car is a valuable classic , you would be better off selling it in Polska and buying another in the UK...

You will sell it for more in Poland than you would in the UK...

Rear fog light swithed to otherside
Headights but a friendly MOT station will pass it with beam benders
They do recomend to swap KM to MPH easy to do as there are plenty of companies doing overlay kits.I didnt bother.What year is the car? as you may need to fit rear seat belts and side repeaters as not all European models came with them fitted.
You can mot the car on Polish plates as they use the Polish reg number and the cars chasis number

I have reg'd two cars one from Germany and one from Holland both still Left hand drive.Its easy to do but takes up to 10 days now.Insurance was not a problem with LHD cars.
The car I imported from Germany had to have homologation paper work from VW UK as the car was never officially sold in the uk.

When you de reg the car in Poland make sure you retain the cars documants or you will have a big problem getting it regd in the UK.
