Dear All
Couple of months ago I brought a Fiat from Poland and I would like to register it at DVLA but I really want to keep my Polish black number plates. Those are the old style plates and they very much make up the look and feel of the car. It's a 1983 model.
Does anyone know if it's even possible?
Also, how difficult is it to register it as a classic car?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Piotr

You can t keep original plates. You could use them on car at a show. You need to nova cert go to gov. Net. Nova you need mot on chassis number insured the same nova cert etc to reg but ask for age related number
-
Just to clarify what Shielsy is saying, you can keep the actual metal plates you just can't use them legally.
I keep my original Polish plate on the back shelf, so that people can see where it came from. But have legal UK plates on the car.

There is a V652 form that comes in the dvsa import pack.
It's for keeping the original plates but you need it to be signed off by a member of an approved owners club for them to say that the plates are originally for that car?
That was the sticking point for me when I tried to do it, the people i emailed from the owners club (can't remember which one) couldn't wrap their heads round the concept as they hadn't heard of the form before

Joe - so do you have a foreign reg & foreign plates on a UK registered car?
-
No I couldn't get the fiat club guy to listen to what i was saying
He kept saying i didn't need him to sign off for the car to be imported
It was very frustrating.
I made a certified copy of the original polish documents in case i want to try it again in the future

you can t drive with a foreign reg no matter what ,it has to be uk reged,

Foreign cars that have been in Britain for more than six months in a year must be registered with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) and fitted with UK plates. If the owner is judged to be a resident, they must register their car within two weeks of importing it.
