Hi Rich,

DVLA retain the V55/5 when you register the car. I've
got a sheet 
somewhere that tells you what boxes to fill in on the
form. 
The main ones are:
Country of origin
Year of manufacture
Make and Model
Chassis number (and engine number) if known
CC of engine (2849??)
Body type - Coupe
Seats - you can leave blank as I think that only
applies to minibuses 
and coaches.
Axle type - I think thats the heading - is '2 axle
rigid'
Mileage
Fuel type
You also need to fill in your details on the second
page and sign it.
Best thing to do, is look at the V5 registration
document for your 
regular car and compare them. The main things they
ask for appear on 
the V5.
When you go to your local VRO with the V55/5, you will
also need:
Customs and Excise form CE386
Licence fee (for 6mths or 12mths) plus £25 first
registration fee
Certificate of insurance (your insurer can issue this
based on the 
car's chassis number)
A valid MOT certificate - again this can be issued
based on Chassis 
number.
A copy of the USA registration document.
I also took loads of supporting documents including
paperwork 
supplied to us by the shipping companies so that
everything was 
covered.

Another thing I did was scan and print off some of the
original 
documents, especially the USA title, as DVLA retain
these.

It is also worth putting the month of build of the car
too - this way 
you will get the correct suffix registration (W or X)
for the age of 
the car - if I remember rightly your's is an early-ish
vin# so you 
should get a W reg.

The main thing that held up getting Flopsy registered
was not having 
the C&E386 (which they had never sent us), so I had a
nice trip in 
boiling hot weather all the way from Stevenage, to
Tilbury Customs to 
collect the form, then on to Luton VRO to finally get
the car 
registered. Make sure you get this, as Southampton,
Bristol and 
Tilbury are a lot further from you then they are from
me!

Also, due to new rules, you will need to take your
driving licence or 
passport as ID when you go to get number plates made
up. This is in 
addition to the form that DVLA will give you advising
you of your new 
registration number. This is basically a new ruling
to try and stop 
people buying registration plates with no proof of
ownership of the 
car in question.

Hope this helps,

Claire
