<BLOCKQUOTE ="post restore ">I am looking at getting an Opel Zafira (51) plate which has been imported at some point in it's life, I am assuming when new.

Does anyone here own an imported car?

What problems does it pose?

I have found that on the insurance comparison sites some of them do not recognised the number plate and those that do show it as an Opel Vectra.

It also does not show on the DVLA tax checker.

I have seen the car and it is right hand drive and looks just like a Vauxhall Zafira except for the Opel badges.

Any advise </BLOCKQUOTE>

Hi,

If the tax disc registration number matches the number plate then there should be no legit reason for it not showing up. It might be worth contacting the DVLA with the VIN to check it is above board. I have imported a car and the day after registering it in a DVLA office it was visible to webistes/shops etc.

Hope this helps a bit
