Hi all you car scrappers
I am moving to Bulgaria and understand that because so many old British cars are appearing in the country, and perhaps the scrappage methods are , well lets say low tech, there are more appearing on the roads. The reult I am told by our (new to us) solicitor that it will become more difficult to import UK registered cars into Bulgaria.
Im a bit surprized someone bought a 4x4 in Bulgaria to bring bnack to the UK.

All, thanks for your replies, its much appreciated. As per WOODMANs message the DVLA reply below confirms that all you have to do is tick the permanently exported box and your legal.

"
You would need to notify DVLA that the vehicle has been exported. Once this is noted on the vehicle record, there will be no further action for you to take.

If you have a Registration Certificate V5C then you must notify export on the purple section V5C/4. The V5C/4 should then be returned to:

DVLA

Swansea

SA99 1AG.

The rest of your V5C must be taken with you as you may have to hand it over to the scrapyard when disposing of the vehicle.

If you are not in possession of the V5 or V5C, you will need to apply for a V5C using an application for a registration certificate V62. Alternatively, if there are no changes to your address details, you may telephone 0300 123 4321, for a replacement V5C. You should then receive your new V5C within 5 working days. Please note, both applications will require a non-refundable fee of £25.

Once your new V5C has been received you should then send notification to us immediately of the intended export as explained above.

Please note, the V62 application form is available to download from the website below, at all tax issuing Post Office®, DVLA, Swansea and DVLA Local Office. A list of local offices can be found on the website address www.direct.gov.uk/motoring.

You will also need paper work for the Bulgarian authorities as your car goes into there system when you enter the country and they need to know why you are leaving without the car and proof of the disposale of the car,whether by sale or scrappage. You will need more proof for them than you do for the DVLA.
