Hi That is quite easy to do. The best way is to go to your local post office with your V5. Tell them that you are changing to historic and they will deal with it. They send your V5 away for you and within a couple of weeks you’ll get a new V5. Once it’s returned remember and go online and tax it. Although it is free, you still need to go through the process. Regards jim

Thanks Gareth. Yes, it was difficult, just dealing with jobsworths I think. Happy to assist anyone if I can. Regards jim

Thanks it was information mainly, apart from the dating info which I got from Audi Germany. However, all the information they kept requesting was all contained in previous correspondence I had sent them! I think it was five applications that I made in total. Received my documents back yesterday which I had sent them, along with a postal order for first registration. Their document yesterday stated that the first registration was free and I was getting my postal order returned, however it want in the envelope!! Not that bothered, just glad it’s eventually registered

Hi Gareth quick update- that’s the Audi now registered 😊😊 Jim

Hi Gareth Thanks for asking. They are a nightmare. sent them proof of age from Audi De, also the NOVA certification. They came back and asked for the foreign registration document, which I previously advised I didn’t have. They then asked for an explanation as to to why there was no foreign registration document. This s was despite me previously advising why there was no documents. I have now responded yet again with the reasons behind this. I’m hoping this is me in the final stretch, but I’m not counting my chickens! The car is on their system as it left the UK for Ireland in 2017! I will update as soon as I hear, hopefully with positive news jim

Will do Gareth. Happy to help anyone that needs guidance. In the past I have imported many cars from the USA as well, so I have experience that I’m willing to share. I will put up a few pictures later of the car James

Hi Gareth I managed to get the email address of a man who works with Audi Tradition/Auto Union. He has literally just sent me a letter from Audi Germany confirming date of manufacture 😊😊 Thanks again VIN is stamped into the inner wing area.

Hi Gareth Thanks very much for your reply. I will contact who you have suggested and hopefully one of them works out. i am pretty tenacious, and looks like i will have to be. I did speak to DVLA. They could see the car on their system but wont accept that. It’s absolutely crazy stuff. i will keep this updated. Thanks

Hello A new member and new Audi 100LS Owner. The car is 1973, and I have only recently purchased it. However it came to the UK from Rep of Ireland, without any paperwork! I have Nova’d the car but I’ve not managed to register it yet with DVLA, as they need written verification what year the car was manufactured. This is despite me finding out, and providing proof that the car was originally a UK car exported to Ireland. I provided them the previous registration which they will not accept, even though it’s on their database. i have also contacted Audi UK, COC registration, Tupe approval VWG UK and someone else. i have also attempted to get a heritage certificate from Audi Germany, but it says they don’t provide this service to the UK!!! I feel I have exhausted every avenue. The car is in lovely unrestored condition, and really needs to be on the road. Can anyone advise how I may proceed? THANKS
