OT:Dubai cars in London

wmj73 · 10-23-2008, 05:50 AM

I have always wondered how cars from the UAE, with Dubai number plates are allowed to drive around in London without having to change their number plates?:wink:

I think you can have short term permit in a lot of countries.

Ahh I see, thanks Way for clearing that up

What's wrong with that? You can drive uk registered car in almost any country in the world depended on some time restrictions. I think if you come to UK with foreign plates you can drive it normally without any permit whatsoever for 100 days.

They might have a temp political official perm.

You can bring your car into the UK for up to a year privately and travel around Europe. After the year you must then register it and pay VAT.

Best,

PS: Also they have them shipped via air. Pretty cool seeing a 747 just for luggage and the 'help'.
