    Gary Dicks of 2cv Imports can sort out the transportation and the paperwork for you, or either if you don't need both. (He started with 2cvs but has imported all sorts of cars & vans, including a few R4s, mainly from France and Spain). I used to do it all myself when it was easy, (a 2cv van, a...

    Road tax

    Newer cars are taxed in bands that relate to their emissions. Cars from the era before that system came in are taxed in (far fewer) bands that relate to their engine size.

    Rear brake flexible - oops!

    If you just need one pipe, why not just get a local garage to make you one. That way you don't need to buy the tool, a roll of pipe (normally 25m) and a bag of fittings. Remove the pipe first (noting it's routing), accurately measure it with a piece of string (at least twice, to make sure) and...

    MOT reject

    When I worked at a Peugeot dealership in the late 80s & 90s, we used to see this quite often on 104, 205, 305, 309. It was mainly on cars that weren't used much.

    Personally I like Boyer Bransden. They're one of the pioneers of electronic ignition and have had a great reputation for reliability since the 1970s. I've used their points-assisted system on my own and customers cars (& I sell it on my website).

    Breakdown cover

    Having always had agreed value classic insurance on all my older cars for the last 26 years, UK & EU breakdown cover has been included. I've used it twice and it's been very good. On my Subaru Forester (too young for a classic policy) I had RAC cover and needed it when the radiator blew last...

    Head lamp bulbs

    In the UK mot, they check that the headlights work, they check the colour, (white or yellow is allowed), they check that the patterns are correct and that they're correctly aligned. That's it. They don't check the wattage of any bulbs
