New member importing a 2.4 spider

Hi, I'm new to Dino ownership and new to this forum. I'm just in the process of importing my new baby, a Fiat 2.4 Spider. It's on the truck from Madrid as I write this - see photo. Two questions:

1. Has anyone recently imported a car, can you guide me through the process. From what I can see the Customs bit is easy but getting the necessary approvals from DVLA can be trickier, especially since they made a lot of staff redundant. Any help gratefully received.

2. Is there a UK Dino club I can join?

Cheers, Hugo

Hi Hugo ,

First congrats on your beautiful car , looks Amazing…

I think over time you will find what you are looking for right here as this is a relatively new dedicated Dino site…. A great way to start your new journey.

Unfortunately I'm not able to help you with customs query as I live in Australia but hope to here and see more pics of your new baby soon.

Cheers and good luck

Dino John

Hi John,

Thanks for the welcome. I will post some photos in the Which Dinos do we have? thread. It went for its MOT today...fingers crossed, the garage haven't phoned back yet!

What a gorgeous car. Congrats. I'm afraid I can't help with importing question, as I am in the US.
How did you find the car?

Thanks Ivar,

It was advertised on www.carandclassic.co.uk. The vendor (Classic Road in Madrid) had over 1,000 enquiries about the car. Seems a 2400 Spider in good nick is a rare thing.
