glastoveteran Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Sorry if this is answered elsewhere, but what happens if a model report doesn't yet exist for the car you're importing? It's an 07 tiptronic Roadster, so does this mean that if one of these cars hasn't been reported before, a model report won't exist? And does that mean I have to go about getting one produced? I'm importing through a UK agent (Bonsai) so not sure whether this becomes my responsibility to find one or theirs. I have had a quick look on modelreports.com and modelreportsdirect.com and neither have one. Cheers all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Check the VOSA web site for a model report. If there isn't one, you need to pay for a Noise and Emmisions test via an SVA company. It usually costs around £1200 - 1500. Or you can commision a model report yourself for about £5000. With a view to rent it out to anyone else importing. Another option would be to lend your car to a company like modelreports.com (I think the main man ther is called kevin Bridges) and pay them a small ammount to cover their costs. They get the model report, you get your car on the road and everyone is happy. Companys like bonsai will more often than not lend the car to them to do this and it will probably just cost you the usuall SVA price. Hope that helps. I';ve just gone through the exact same thing as there isn't a model report for an 06 manual car! But I was lucky and one has litterally just been complete. Although it's not listed on the vosa website yet. Vosa's details lag behind by a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
