You may just want to check with the DVLA in Swansea that they can issue all of your documents in the allotted time that you have. http://www.dvla.gov.uk/ They should also be able to answer any queries about the registration of your vehicle that you may have. Kind regards, Mr B Hi Barry,

KTM is expecting me to do a track day with their test drivers this Summer, so I won't be embarrassing them when I get the car. The process of getting the cars road legal is proceeding more rapidly in some countries of the EU than in others. The UK being one of the quick studies I am wondering whether once I have title from KTM I can just stop at a hotel for a few days and get my registration there? barry I shall do that.

When you first drive it, please come and visit again and let us know what you think. Barry,

Good luck with both the move and the KTM – it’s an incredible machine though I’m sure you know that already. When you first drive it, please come and visit again and let us know what you think.

The car is to be my McGuffin ( Alfred Hitchcock's term for something external to move the plot) to see if I can retire to Europe. KTM expects to be homologated to all of the EU by the end of 2008, but my build date is approaching sooner than that. As of March they were road legal in the UK, Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands, so I am just trying to make sure that I shall be ready when they are. barry Thank you for the information.

I've moving to US next month and will have to get a new car. I have not yet decided which one to buy. Would love to see pics of these cars.

You can contact them on: +44 (0) 1280709511 For insurance, you may want to try Adrian Flux as they specialise in sports car insurance (this won't cover you for track days though): http://www.adrianflux.co.uk/ Hope this helps. Regards, Mr B Hi Barry,

So far the homologization process has happened only in UK and three European countries, not France. If I need an address of convenience in the UK for plates and insurance, could someone tell me what the costs might look like? How it's done? my thanks, naturally.

The Fiat 500 is a funky little car that's economical, fun and best of all has character. There's too much crap on the roads these days that miss out on that all important last point. It's the little car with a big heart. I just hope they are reliable to go with it. Hi Danny,

I know they are only Ford KAs really, but the 500 is a smashing little car. We have had the pleasure to work on a couple, and they just look fantastic when done up in custom racing stripes.
