I might have to drive an un MoT'd/un tax'd car home soonish. I usually use German short term license plates, but apparently they are illegal overhere now, and most cops know about that (and i didn't!). I don't like the idea of putting false plates on it, cause knowing my luck, I'm the one who gets stopped  Are there any ways to get it legal to the docks? It's only 30 miles i need to drive it, but i read that ANPR is getting used a lot overthere nowadays (they just discovered it here  ) and i don't want me/the seller getting end up in troubles. Have some RR12 pictures:       |

you can legally drive an insured car without mot or tax to a pre-booked mot, and you can drive it home again  wether or not you could convince the cops that driving it home meant to the netherlands is another matter... |

Almost on the road: b11 sunny breadvan, e36 tds, 325i skidcar,
nearly there: ford f250 tathauler, suzuki alto, u11 bluey
not for a while: ford pop, 32 rails,
not in this lifetime: ruby, '29 hillman

If it's booked in for an MOT, and you are driving directly to, or from the test, it is legal as long as it is insured. That's the closest you'll get to legally driving it unless you can find someone over here that will drive it on trade plates for you

Just get it moved to the docks on a transporter or trailer. If it's only 30 miles at £1 a mile it's only about £30. Not worth the risk and hassle to save £30.

30 miles will cost you about £70 on a truck , safest way , i used to do this for a living and run loads of cars to the docks,.

don't think the plod would accept driving from the Netherlands to the UK on a MOT appt, a decent excuse, its usually within the locale.
don't know the law about having it towed to the docks?
but on a lowloader like the above say would be the safest option, Had one picked up 3 months ago here, £1 a mile so £30 quid or so would be the outlay

je kan ook gewoon een import kent kopen hier in nederland kan je gewoon naar nederland rijden gr john oja, vertel me meer! Hier heb ik nog nooit van gehoord, wel het export kenteken, maar geen importkenteken! Thanks for the advice so far, i'll have a look into what johnny5 says about a dutch import plate which i haven't heard of. |

in belgie kunde groen platen gebruiken (dealerplaten) als ge meer dan 7 auto's per jaar verkoopt komde in aanmerking om er te krijgen , hoe dan ook weet ik niet hoe het in nl zit ?
IN belgium jou can use green tags (dealertags) if jou sell more then 7 cars a jear ,jou can get them , but i don't know the situation in holland
en btw mooie opslagplaats hep zojuist de retro ride's opgepikt en ik denk dat het jouw garage was niet in de lockup section ?
AND btw nice lockup you have , ive just picked up a copy of retro ride's , i think its your garage
