Taking UE 200E W124 >25 years old to UK

Some update...
I have been talking with DLVA and they told me that all those data are not needed for a car of that age. So, I have actually been providing more information than necessary.
About the tax band, these old cars do not have to follow the usual bands but a special one, where the price depends only on the engine size.
So, everything is ready and tomorrow I will send the application. Hopefully, in about ten days I will receive the plate number.
 
As a final update, my car is registered in UK. No problems at the end, everything went smooth.

In a few days I will have to go through the usual periodic maintenance (270.000km). Do you have any suggestion for a good garage in or nearby Horsham?
 
I take ours to PCS in Horndean. Well worth the 45 minute drive from Horsham. You could also try Nightingales near the station. Not a specialist but they seem "old school" and know what they are doing. Also very helpful.
 
I will have a permanent contract, so yes, my plans are to stay long.

As an aside ... if you haven't already done it you should think about applying for a UK driving licence. You can use an EU one here for up to 3 years though.

Thanks for the suggestions!
A maybe silly question... do they give you a courtesy car? Otherwise, how do you come back? I would be able to go there only on a Saturday...

Or maybe up to less than 2 years now :D
No, I have not applied. I will see how things go -I have already changed job after spending the worst eight months of my life in that place, now I moved to Horsham but especially after the Brexit result I think I will go back to Europe as soon as possible.
