2007

Before you ask, emissions regulations are explicitly stated on the bottom of the V5. But year of manufacture is 2007.

Same problem in Belgium. Need to finish car before 2009 as EURO5 is required then!!!

In Belgium there's 2 options, meet the emission regulation of the year the car is SVA'd/registered or don't register and run it on papers of a oldtimer with O-plates (no MoT, no nothing) as a escort MK2 or something similar. But O-plates have the limitation that you cannot drive at night, not allowed to drive whenever you want, you need to prove that you're driving to or from a meeting or in preparation for a meeting. And afterall, a Seven registered as escort or similar in not very legal.

But that's it. So all regular registered kitcars in belgium have injection just to meet Euro3 or euro4 depending on first registration date.

Another option is to start a business in the uk, register the car to it and keep it running on uk plates, not very legal either I think, but hey, be creative

Here in Belgium, when you import a car that has no declaration of conformity for Belgium needs to be presented at a homologationtest where all this stuff is tested.

One of the requirements too is that you need a ECU with 3d map.
