wlaidlaw Posted September 30, 2013 Share #5583 Posted September 30, 2013 Dunk, I was out of date. the current UK car registration document is, of course, now a V5c . This new document can cause serious problems when overseas, particularly in Italy. Since Italy brought in punitive taxation on all cars with over 250HP of around €8,000+ per annum, if you drive such a car in Italy with non-Italian registration, particularly if like mine it is LHD, you will constantly be stopped and asked for your papers to prove you are not an Italian with a car registered abroad to avoid the tax. The police ask for your proof of ownership papers, driving licence and passport. In large letters across the front of the new V5C it says "This document is not proof of ownership", so the police ask again for the ownership papers. You have to explain at length that these are all the UK issues. If they don't believe you, they can impound the car until such time as the UK consulate can manage to get it released for you. You can imagine how little effort our wonderful consulates put into this sort of exercise. Luckily I speak enough Italian to explain my way out of this situation - so far! I have had a letter published in Autocar on this matter and it is being taken up by my local MP who is also transport minister (Norman Baker) and our MEP.

Rona!d Posted October 4, 2013 Share #5599 Posted October 4, 2013 James, the color of your car is indeed unique, seems that is the car of the old lady from Nürnberg who had it repainted in this (strange) non Pagoda color in the early 1970s. Thanks for the Pagoda forum link, might be helpful one day. At the moment I´m still in the process of thinking about the right combination and also have other expense priorities. Anyway it´s not wrong to check offers. I like this model for it´s "timeless" design and great mix of comfort and classic. Too bad the old engine design was pretty tuned up. Although I love originals a "daily driver" Pagoda made by Mechatronik should be considered. Will look for the next car this evening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted October 4, 2013 Share #5600 Posted October 4, 2013 Mechatronik are great people. We have a 350 SE Cabriolet up there at the moment for a total mechanical rebuild. My father's last really nice car was a 220 SEC, which was a retirement presentation in 1961. He picked it up in Edinburgh from Merchiston Motors, the people who ran Ecurie Ecosse and came to take me out from school. I recall being amazed by the car and especially its automatic electric aerial. Sadly a drunk driver crashed into the side of it 10 days after it was new (very luckily it was one of the first cars to have 3 point seat belts as standard or my parents would have been badly injured). The insurance company insisted on rebuilding what should have been written off, as the bill was around 80% of the new cost and it was never correct afterwards. I saw it in London about 15 years later, as I recognised the DSE909 number plate. What a very sad state it was in, with the all panels hanging off and more rust than paintwork.
