250 general questions

Post by tigcraft » Fri Oct 20, 2023 6:01 am

As I’m about to start my restoration on one so I’m curious to how many are actually in the uk as we speak? Mines unregistered atm.
On another note I’m in Holmfirth, West Yorkshire and wonder where is the nearest one to me to have a nosey at should I need help with anything?

There no way to know how many are actually in the UK , as many are owned by non club members and some get passed on many times :lol: :lol: :x ;)
At the moment the nearest one is obviously the 1 in Sheffield that was at Stafford but he's not a club member , so no info , there is 1 in Bolton .
What importation paper have you got ? Have you got the import tax from importer and or original log book , you say had it years ....things changed a few years back and while reasonably easy if you've got the docs mentioned , it a bit more of a faff , with dating letters from the up there own VJMC ( which you may already be a member of , but when it comes to the NOVA , best phone them at the HMRC , they are helpful when you get through .

It came from DK in Staffordshire so what ever they sent. I know there’s a Nova. It’s actually April 2014 when I bought it so it’s a long time ago. At this point I’m not overly worried as I’ve ‘space management’ to sort out at home first which is a big challenge if you know what I mean 🤣🤣🤣

If it came from D&K with a Nova then it should be all good....I know registering it is a way off , but if the end result wasn't going to be possible then it could alter things.

What’s the difference between SSM model number and SSN? Is one a first edition?

Hi Tigcraft,
Welcome to the forum. I'm Katshark (Dean) from the BMW forum.
I think if you check the for sale section, you might be able to see what I had for sale. I'll have to have a look in the shed to find the box of bits!
