Hi Pint and welcome. Nice 2 door you got there. If I were you I would just ring your local Revenue office and explain the situation. Because the car was sourced within the EU and is over 30 years old I am fairly sure you dont have to pay any VAT. Also because it is vintage, VRT is only about €48. So they are not going to lose out by anyone "pulling a fast one". They will probably be fairly flexible when you explain the situation. You will then have the option of getting a 69D plate or an age related ZV one, the choice is yours. Oh and of course cheap tax and insurance, the joys of vintage motoring.
