Title: Registering polish car in UK
Post by: Brighton_126 on December 08, 2017, 10:31:06 PM: Hi,
I am in the process of registering my 126 in the uk and i dont know which logbook to send in with the car as it comes with two, one red book saying 'Karta Pojazdu' and one blue card saying 'Dowod Rejestracyjny'. Can anyone please tell me which one to send to the DVLA.
Kind Regards
Luca

UK residents aren't allowed to use non-UK registered vehicles on UK roads. The only exceptions are if you: work in another European Union (EU) member state and use an EU-registered company car temporarily in the UK"

Thanks for the info im British. So the plan is now to insure the car in Poland to drive to Dover and then transport it to Epping to get it moted and registered than insured in the uk with Thatcham 1 (A PLAN INSURANCE) for Â£130 fully comp.

Glad you made it ok. Quite a drive!!
