I won a 2010 Shogun!
I won a 2010 Mitsubishi Shogun 3.2. It was first registered in Nothern Ireland in March 2010 and as far as I can make out it remained there until it was delivered to me a few days ago.
What do I do next? We want to take the back seat out of it. Do I need an engineer report after I take out the seats, before I bring it to the NCT centre? And do I need to get a letter from Lucky Day competitions to say I won it?

Hi Anita,
Whether you won it or not, you will still be liable for all costs to import the vehicle and register it in the South. From the information you've given, we believe you'd only have VRT to pay.
However, you will need to book an appointment to have the vehicle inspected at an NCT centre within seven days of it arriving in Ireland and you have 30 days to complete the procedure. I.e. you'll have to pay VRT on it as a passenger car if that's what it was on arriving in Ireland.
You can of course do the conversion afterwards.
