Thinking of importing an American car...

Hi,

I am thinking about purchasing a US car that has just been registered in the UK. The car in question meets the UK IVA standards and passed all tests. The lights have also been adjusted to meet EU standards. I have two questions:

1. Is the IVA test good enough (the car hasn't really been driven much in the UK and looks to have all documents in check) or should I fork out for an independent test. Trying to minimize my spend as I will need it for VRT.

2. How much will VRT be on a 2014 5.7-litre?

Many thanks

Derek
