Default Import LHD into the UK

Hi,

I'm starting a job in the UK in October.
Planning on taking my car so I have means of transportation.
Since it's a Dutch car it's LHD and European Mainland specs.

What do I have to do to import it into the UK?
Will changing the headlights do?

I looked at the DVLA website, but not much help there.

Eventually I want to be on UK roadtax and insurrance
instead of the Dutch........(UK is much cheaper)

Any comments welcome

Regards

Yep. That is it. Just remember to drive on the Left :-)
If you have a Full Driving License and your car is
taxed and registered at home then you can drive
in the UK for 6 months without doing anything about
registering the car in the UK.

The DVLA page you need is:
http://www.dvla.gov.uk/vehicles/expt...%20A%20VEHICLE

Hope the job goes well.
Pete
