paulgtt Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 A BIMTA certificate is a very good thing to have Quote Link to post Share on other sites
addz Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Good to have the paperwork.I got mine with the car, nice to see the history although its all in Jap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J25GTi Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 A BIMTA certificate is a very good thing to havebut not essential?what paperwork would be usually expected with an import car? just trying to gauge if something is wrong and thats why its not there, or if the generally dont have any with them these days!

www.glanza.co.uk Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 If it's registered, then it's OK. The paperwork has to be OK to get it registered. The only thing you'll never know is what the auction grade was (assuming it was even bought in auction)... Most imports don't come with paperwork (service history etc), so don't worry too much about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedFreak Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Mine was from Torque Keighley but it came with nothing apart from V5 and Mot Cert.I know that you get paper work when importing yourself, because you have to register it. I am guessing alot of Traders get rid of the paper work once they have registered it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
