Hi , im new to the forum and have just bought my first Porsche

I need to get it registered in the uk as its from holland

Can i get a certificate of conformity directly from stutgart rather than through a uk dealer?... Has anyone done this and have any contact details

Thanks in advance
 
I think that you will need to write or e mail Porsche in Holland and request a Certificate of Conformity.If you get a full Certificate , it is a doddle from there.I suspect you will get a Certificate of Partial Conformity. The Partial Certificate of Conformity outlines differences between Dutch spec cars and UK based cars.Porsche at Reading will not have any details of the car. There is often a fee for a Certificate.

Once you learn what the non conforming items are you will need to change them and submit the paperwork and an application to VOSA , and you will probably have to take the vehicle for inspection at VOSA. Non Comforming items are generally quite simple such as relocating the rear fog light to the opposite side of the car and changing the headlights to dip correctly for use in the UK.

Good luck and I trust you do not encounter too many problems on route.

I recently went through the fun of Registering a LHD Mitsubishi Pajero in France that was UK registered but since it was originally manufactured for the UAE it did not have a Certificate of conformity at all ! I could write a book on what I had to do to get it registered.
 
I didn't think you'd need one if the car is over 10 years old - I'm assuming you're importing a 964.
 
Thanks forthe info

It is a 964, i got some forms from the dvla and it asked for a certificate of conformity, insurance, and mot
 
Porsche reading are quoting £106 for the certificate, it would be good to knowcwheter i need one or not before parting with cash.... Can anyone confirm?
Cheers
 
I do not wish to give you wrong advice, so send off the documents without the Certificate of Conformity and see if you can register the vehicle.

If you can't, you will have to pay for a Certificate, but do not be too surprised if it is only a 'Partial' one.

10/10 to Porsche Reading for offering a Certificate on a Dutch car [:)]
