Do these all come in for 'vehicles of historic interest' treatment so VAT and import duty lower, or is that before a certain date only? I did look it up once but it was all quite confusing...
Not coming from the EU will attract car tax and VAT which they include the cost of transport. most importantly you need to make sure that the car have a logbook equivalent otherwise you will have problem registering the car with DVLA.
Vehicles over 30 years old will come in as being of "historical interest" with VAT @ 5% and no excise duty. The vehicle should be unmodified, this is part of a HMRC BTI (Binding Tariff Information) procedure, which the UK shipping agent would normally arrange as part of the import documentation.
